BEST WISHES

Charles S. Trump IV, Member of the West Virginia House of Delegates, 51st District. An attorney from Berkeley Springs, Morgan County, Delegate Charles Trump IV has served as a Member of the House of Delegates since first being elected in 1992. Delegate Trump served as the Minority Whip in the 72nd and 73rd Legislative Sessions. Since the 74th Legislative Session, Delegate Trump has held his current rank as House Minority Leader. He also serves as a member to the Committee on Government Organization and House Rules.

Delegate Trump is one of several Legislators that have chosen not to run in the next 2006 legislative races; citing the lack of available time that could be devoted to his family and law practice as the principal reason for his departure from the House. Regarded as gentleman and statesman among his peers, Delegate "Charlie" Trump is, but one of a handful of legislative members that have garnered respect from both sides of the isle. Charlie will be remembered for his quick wit, his annual tribute to Abraham Lincoln, and as a fierce defender of our democratic system; his presence will be truly missed.
