Local responses to Schroder’s announcemen

    Representative Mark Hart has teamed with Senator Wil Schroder during his time in Frankfort to represent Pendleton County. He told Falmouth Outlook:
    “Senator Schroder has been a great member of our legislative team in Frankfort. His representation of Pendleton County and the 24th Senate District has been tremendous. Although, I hate to see him go, I respect his decision and support him. Wil is a good individual with a beautiful family and as long as he continues to put them first he will always be a success.”
    Judge Executive David Fields has spent the past years working with Senator Wil Schroder as a voice in Frankfort for what was best for Pendleton County. He said:
    “I would like to take this opportunity to thank Senator Wil Schroder, not only in serving as State Senator for Pendleton County but as a friend. We started our first term in office at the same time, we’ve had many conversations on different issues, some we agreed on others not completely but you knew where he stood.  Through the years he has always made himself available to discuss issues that could affect the County when called upon. Even though he has roughly a year and a half left in his term, I respect his willingness to announce that he will not be running for re-election next year, giving anyone interested the opportunity to prepare. It has been an honor to work with Senator Schroder these past years, and I can completely understand the want and need to spend more time with his young family, I wish him and his family the best in the future.”
    The Pendleton County Republican Party represented by Chairman Rick Brown said:
    “Upon hearing the announcement, it came as a great surprise to myself and the Pendleton County Republican Party. It came to our attention during our regularly scheduled May meeint and a great surprise to all in attendance. We would like to take this opportunity to thank him for his service to our district and our state. We wish him well in his future endeavors.”
