PARKERSBURG — A Wood County man was one of the state’s five electors to the Electoral College who carried out his duties earlier this week in Charleston in delivering the state’s five electoral votes for President Donald Trump.
Lewis Rexroad, 77, said it has been a life-long dream to be an elector and to participate in the Electoral College. He is a retired driver and delivery man for UPS and worked for the company for 33 years, primarily in Tyler and Pleasants counties, joining UPS after his discharge from the Air Force in 1966.
