Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin today appointed Anna Border to fulfill the remainder of her late husband's term in office as the West Virginia House of Delegates representative for the ninth district. The appointment is effective immediately.
"Anna has been her late husband's personal confidant and partner during their 38 year marriage as well as his professional legislative assistant," Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin said. "I am confident she will represent the people of Wirt and Wood counties with the same commitment her husband displayed throughout his twenty-one years of service."
Delegate Larry Border was first elected to the West Virginia House of Delegates in 1990 to represent the citizens of Wood and Wirt counties. The Wood County resident passed away unexpectedly earlier this month. The West Virginia 9th District Republican Delegate Committee submitted Mrs. Border's name along with two others as candidates to fulfill the unexpired term.
Mrs. Border is a graduate of West Virginia University with a degree in elementary education. The long-time educator travels the state bringing science lessons to elementary children as a teacher with the West Virginia Farm Bureau's Mobile Science Lab. Active in her faith, Mrs. Border is a gospel singer with the Friends of Gospel Quartet and has served as Chaplain for the West Virginia Federation of Republican Women.
Anna and her late husband, Larry, have three children, Heather Border Mullens; Rebecca Border Dimit; and Christopher Border.
