CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Mike Honaker of Lewisburg became the newest member of the West Virginia House of Delegates Jan. 4.

Honaker was joined by his wife Melissa and children Matthias and Maddison while House Clerk Steve Harrison administered the oath of office, which marked the new Delegate’s first visit inside the West Virginia State Capitol.
