Candidate and race
Daniel Linville is the Republican incumbent in West Virginia House District 22. Linville is listed as a candidate in the 2026 general election, which is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026.
The District 22 contest is listed as uncontested. Linville is the only candidate identified in the race. The incumbent designation distinguishes Linville from a challenger and establishes that Linville already holds the seat while running in this election.
No other candidate is listed for the district. The race status does not add any other party nominee or unaffiliated candidate to the contest.
Background
Linville does not have a candidate biography on file. That leaves the official profile without details about education, employment, previous offices or other personal and professional experience.
The biographical facts established for the election are Linville’s name, Republican affiliation and status as the incumbent in House District 22. No length of service is listed. The candidate entry also does not identify earlier campaigns or other government roles.
Linville’s place in the race is therefore defined by the current officeholding status and candidacy in District 22 rather than by a separate biographical statement.
Policy positions
Linville has no documented policy positions on file for this race. There is no stated position to report on taxes, education, health care, energy, the state budget or other matters that could come before the West Virginia House.
The Republican label identifies Linville’s party affiliation, but it does not establish an individual position on a specific proposal. Without a documented stance, no policy view can be assigned to Linville in this profile.
There are also no listed issue priorities or specific legislative proposals tied to the 2026 campaign. The candidate’s policy agenda is therefore not defined in the official entry for this election.
Campaign finance
Campaign finance totals are not on file for Linville. There are no figures listed for funds raised, funds spent or cash on hand.
Those three categories describe different parts of campaign activity. Funds raised track money received, funds spent track expenditures, and cash on hand reflects money remaining at a reporting point. No dollar amount is listed in any of those categories for Linville.
The absence of a listed figure does not establish that the amount is zero. It means no fundraising, spending or available-cash total can be stated for the campaign from the filing entry.
Election timeline
The general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026. Linville is listed for West Virginia House District 22 as the Republican incumbent, and the contest is marked as uncontested.
The central process questions before Election Day are whether the race’s uncontested status changes, whether campaign finance totals are filed and whether Linville documents policy positions. None of those questions changes the current candidate listing: Linville remains the sole identified candidate in the District 22 general election.
