Harley O. Staggers, Jr.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harley O. "Buckey" Staggers, Jr. (b. February 22, 1951 in Washington, D.C.) is a Democratic U.S. politician. He graduated from Harvard and the West Virginia University College of Law, served as an assistant West Virginia Attorney General, and served one term in the West Virginia Senate.
His father, Harley Staggers, Sr., was a Democratic Congressman from West Virginia from 1949 until 1981, when he declined to run for a seventeenth term. Buckey was elected to his father's seat, and served from 1983-1993, losing his seat after West Virginia lost one congressional seat following the 1990 Census. After redistricting, Mineral County fell in West Virginia's 1st Congressional District. Buckey was forced to run against 1st District incumbent Alan Mollohan, and lost in the Democratic primary.
Staggers practices law in Keyser, West Virginia with his brother, Daniel C. Staggers.
