WEST VIRGINIA (LOOTPRESS) – Former State Senator of West Virginia has passed away.
Billy Wayne Bailey was a State Senator from the 9th district from 1991 to 2009. He was part of the Democrat party.
Bailey was born in Mercer County in 1957.
“I’m saddened by the news of the passing of Senator Bailey who welcomed me to the West Virginia Legislature when I became a Delegate in 2003. We shared many conversations, challenges and most of all, our laughter. I will personally miss my friend Billy Wayne and my prayers are with his family during this time of great sorrow,” said Senate President Craig Blair.
Bailey decided to not seek re-election to the WV Senate in 2008 and instead ran an unsuccessful primary campaign for the WV Secretary of State.
