Beckley Register-Herald – When local attorney Todd Kirby was running for the Beckley seat in the House of Delegates last fall – a race he won – he talked about solving the drug overdose death crisis in the state. He wasn’t the first and he won’t be the last.
Read the full op-ed.
The candidate addressed it during a forum just a few weeks ahead of the vote and he wrote about it in a profile printed in this newspaper.

Again, not the first. Certainly not the last. Just the latest.
