Two of the five seats on the Kanawha County Schools Board of Education were up for general election on May 10, 2016. In his bid for re-election, incumbent Jim Crawford Sr. faced three challengers—Ric Cavender, Bill Carpenter, and Adam Henry Knauff.[1][4] Crawford won re-election, and Cavender won the open seat.[2]
Though the election was held at large, only two members from the same geographic district could be on the board during a given term. Crawford was from District 3. Cavender and Carpenter were from District 1, and Knauff was from District 4.[1] The board had one member from District 1: Ryan White. Because of this, only Cavender or Carpenter could have won a seat, not both of them. There were no members from District 4, and Crawford was the only member from District 3.[5]
