The District 4 race
Shane Stack is seeking election to the West Virginia House of Delegates in District 4 in the Nov. 3, 2026, general election. The race is contested, with two candidates listed: Stack and Bill Flanigan.
Both candidates are Republicans, and both are identified as incumbents. The candidate entries do not identify another party’s candidate in the contest. They also do not include biographical details, documented policy positions or campaign finance totals for either candidate.
That leaves voters with a limited set of confirmed details at this stage: the candidates’ names, party affiliation, incumbent status, district and general election date. Neither candidate has a documented advantage in endorsements, polling or fundraising in the race information listed here.
Shane Stack
Stack is listed as a Republican incumbent in House District 4. He is one of the two candidates in the contested general election scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026.
Stack’s candidate entry does not include a biography. It also does not list documented positions on state policy questions. No figures are listed for funds raised, funds spent or cash on hand.
Those entries do not establish Stack’s occupation, education, hometown, previous election results or specific legislative priorities. They also do not establish positions on taxes, education, health care, energy, transportation or other matters that may come before the West Virginia Legislature. Without documented positions, no issue stance can be attributed to him in this profile.
Bill Flanigan
Flanigan is also listed as a Republican incumbent in House District 4. He is the other candidate in the contested general election scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026.
Flanigan’s candidate entry does not include a biography. It also does not list documented positions on state policy questions. No figures are listed for funds raised, funds spent or cash on hand.
Those entries do not establish Flanigan’s occupation, education, hometown, previous election results or specific legislative priorities. They also do not establish positions on taxes, education, health care, energy, transportation or other matters that may come before the West Virginia Legislature. Without documented positions, no issue stance can be attributed to him in this profile.
What the contest establishes
The District 4 listing establishes a direct general election contest between two Republican incumbents. It does not establish why two incumbents are competing in the same district or describe either candidate’s record in office.
For voters comparing Stack and Flanigan, future official filings may add information about ballot status and campaign finances. Official candidate materials may also identify personal backgrounds or policy priorities. Until those details appear in the public record, the confirmed comparison is narrow: both candidates are Republicans, both are incumbents, and both are running for the same District 4 House seat in the Nov. 3 general election.
The election is part of West Virginia’s 2026 general election. The outcome will be decided by District 4 voters, but no result can be inferred from the candidates’ shared party affiliation or incumbent status.
