A race to decide which Democrat will face Republican Congressman Riley Moore in the November general election was still too close to call early Wednesday morning.

Three Democrats are running in the U.S. House District 2 race. As of 12:25 a.m. Wednesday, with 98% of votes counted, Morgantown community organizer Ace Parsi led the race with 17,640 votes, over Fairmont teacher Stephanie Tomana, with 16,830, and U.S. Navy veteran Steve Wendelin, with 9,929 votes.

The Associated Press had not yet called the race.

The winner of the primary will go on to face Congressman Riley Moore, who was unopposed in Tuesday’s Republican Primary. Moore was first elected in 2024.

A representative for Parsi’s campaign said Wednesday they anticipate waiting on the office of West Virginia Secretary of State Kris Warner to call the race.

A spokesperson for Warner’s office said the office calls races only after every county certifies the results of their elections. Counties are expected to start the canvassing process for certification on Monday.

2:17 pmThis story has been updated to include that the winner of the election may not be known until the Secretary of State calls the race, after results have been certified.
