Stephen Marshall Wilson is an American politician who served in the West Virginia House of Delegates from the 60th district from 2016 to 2020.[1]

Early life

Stephen Marshall Wilson[2] was born July 8, 1969, in South Carolina.[3] He earned his B.A. at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College. He and his wife have nine children.[3]

Legislature

In the 2016 general election, Wilson defeated Democratic candidate Gary "Peanut" Collins with 4,874 votes to Collins' 2,963.[4] In the 2018 Republican primary, Wilson defeated Larry W. Faircloth Sr., a former state legislator and son of Larry V. Faircloth.[5][6] Wilson was subsequently unopposed in the general election.[7]

On December 17, 2019 Wilson announced his change in party affiliation from Republican to Independent.[8] Wilson unsuccessfully ran in the 2020 West Virginia Governor election as an independent write-in candidate, receiving 1.93% of the vote.[9] He teaches an American Federal Government Course at Blue Ridge Community and Technical College in Berkeley County, West Virginia.[citation needed]

Post-legislative career

In the 2022 general election, as the nominee of Americans Coming Together, Wilson won 39% of the vote in a two-way race, the highest for a minor party nominee in West Virginia in at least 95 years.[10] In 2023, Wilson joined the Constitution Party and agreed to be its nominee for Governor of West Virginia in the 2024 election.[11]
