West Virginia Democratic House candidate Ralph Baxter is running as a "4th generation West Virginian" and "West Virginian jobs creator," but he does not mention on his campaign website that he owns property, worth almost $2 million, in House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's (D., Calif.) neighborhood in Napa County, California.
Baxter grew up in West Virginia during his early years, but he moved to California with his parents when he was in fifth grade and only lived in West Virginia periodically over the course of the following six decades.
He received his bachelor’s degree from Stanford University in 1968, a master’s degree in education from the Catholic University of America in 1970, and a law degree from the University of Virginia in 1974. After graduating from UVA, he started working at the San Francisco-based law firm Orrick, Herrington and Sutcliffe and ultimately served as the firm's CEO for 23 years until his retirement in 2014. When he served as the CEO, he lived north of the San Francisco office in Napa County.
In 2002, after Baxter was successful in pushing his law firm to open up an office operations center in Wheeling, West Virginia to cut down on administrative costs, the candidate also bought a home in the area, according to Law.com. Baxter, nevertheless, spent most of his time traveling or living in Napa County.

ReplyDeleteSpreading the Calif disease.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of Mathias. He claims to live in OC. That is a joke, He lives on the Western Shore for years and comes to OC for appearances so people will say I see him a lot in OC. Should not be representing the Shore. We have others running for State office doing the same thing. Is there not at least one candidate for Governor in the same situation
