Darrell Justin Black                 
              Candidate
14th District, House of Delegates

I would like to thank all of you that supported

me during the 2010 primary election.  It was

an awesome experience!  I am back for the

2012 primary election and need your continued

support to put us over the top and on the

November ballot.

Bio:

I am a West Virginian and Putnam Countian by birth, a Mason Countian by choice, Class of 2007 graduate of Hurricane High School, and Class of 2011 graduate of Marshall University. I was a Frasure-Singleton Intern with the West Virginia Legislature during the week of February 15-19 2010 working with Delegate Jonathan Miller (R - Berkeley County) and a Judith Herndon Scholar with the Legislature for the entire 2011 session working for State Senator Bob Plymale (D - Wayne), Chairman of the Senate Education Committee. I also worked for State Senator Clark Barnes' gubernatorial campaign during the 2011 Primary Election and was district coordinator in charge of six counties including Cabell, Jackson, Kanawha, Mason, Putnam, and Wayne Counties.

I enjoy being outdoors riding horses, fishing, camping, and hunting. I drive my family's team of black Percheron draft horses and pull a hearse for Allen's Funeral Home in Hurricane, WV and will be driving Bo and Luke in several parades throughout the district. Come join us for a wagon ride and take part in the campaign!

I also play in a bluegrass/country band "The Sounds of Bluegrass" which has played across Putnam and Mason Counties including the Putnam County Homecoming and the Point Pleasant Regatta.

I am also very active in Freemasonry and attend lodge regularly in Hurricane, Milton, and Point Pleasant. I am also a member of Putnam Lodge #139, Tri-County Chapter #51 R.A.M., Order of the Eastern Star #116, Scottish Rite Freemasonry-Valley of Huntington, and the Beni Kedem Shrine of Charleston. I have also been made an honorary Kentucky Colonel by the Kentucky State Legislature.
