Michael J. Maroney is a Republican member of the West Virginia Senate,[1][2] representing the 2nd district since January 11, 2017.
Maroney serves as the Senate Chair for the Health and Human Resources Committee and serves as Vice Chair of the Military Committee. He also serves as a member on additional Senate committees including Finance, Government Organization, Rules, and Workforce.[3]
On August 28, 2019, Maroney was arrested for soliciting a prostitute. He pleaded not guilty.[4] His case has been continued four times, most recently in October 2020 after the circuit court considered a request for a special prosecutor due to an alleged conflict of interest by Marshall County Prosecuting Attorney Rhonda Wade. The charges were dismissed in March 2021.[5] He also briefly faced several misdemeanor charges related to the use of 'Doctor' on campaign signs, although those charges were quickly dismissed.[6]
