After Jared Schneider was elected Washington County Sheriff, his seat on the Wellman City Council needed to be filled. At their most recent meeting, the council met with four people who were interested in the vacant spot. After some consideration, the council approved the appointment of Shannon McCain. He will be sworn in at their meeting on January 16th, and will serve the remainder of Schneider’s term, which comes to an end in the fall of this year. McCain works as a network technician for CenturyLink, and also serves as a reserve deputy for the Washington County Sheriff’s Department.
