What is the future of Del. Joe Jeffries?
CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK)  Im an elected official but Im still a real person.  Thats about as much as Delegate Joe Jeffries (R-Putnam) has said about the sexually explicit video he posted on TikTok last week. Since then, many of his colleagues have weighed in on it, calling it immature, embarrassing, and hypocritical.  I think its pretty serious when you have the Governor, the leader of the Republican party in West Virginia, the Speaker of the House, the Majority Leader, the Putnam County Republican Executive Committee  all have stepped up and have either asked for an apology or asked for resignation and yet we still havent heard anything from Delegate Jeffries, said Del. Mike Pushkin (D-Kanawha). In a statement to 13 News, another Putnam County Republican, Del. Mr. Jeffries you need to apologize to District 22 for your actions and I think its time that you resign and let someone in there who will not do what you have done in the past, said Cecil Silva a former candidate for District 22. Silva ran against Jeffries as a democrat last year but was defeated. Silva says he wasnt thinking about running again, but the video has now prompted him to. I understand that it is a part-time job but it is a full-time commitment to the people of West Virginia and District 22, he said. On WOWK-TVs social media page we asked viewers if Del. Jeffries should resign, Yes and he shouldve known better, seriously, wrote one woman. Id love to know how many of yall have done things that could reflect poorly on your employers, but youve not resigned because of it, wrote another woman. Joe Jeffries is up for re-election in the fall of 2022. Until then, if he resigns or if his seat is revoked, it will have to be filled by another Republican.
