CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Carol Miller repeatedly passed on opportunities to engage with her main opponent to discuss issues with voters in her West Virginia district, instead taking a more direct route. While Miller appeared at an event with Democrat Lacy Watson in Beckley in April during the primary election, Watson said Miller was a no-show at forums in several counties during the general election campaign. “I am running to represent working families and individuals in the 1st District,” Watson said in a telephone interview.
