He is married with two children. Ohio House of RepresentativesIn 2016, state Representative Stephen Slesnick was term-limited after serving in the House since 2008.[1] West was one of two Democrats to declare interest in the seat, along with Joyce-Healy Abrams, the daughter of William J. Healy, who represented the seat for twenty-five years, and William J. Healy II, who had also represented the seat and was the former Mayor of Canton.[2] Healy-Abrams herself had run for Congress against Bob Gibbs in 2012, losing a close race. Despite her name recognition, the race was competitive, and West ended up winning by 110 votes.[3] While the seat hadn't been represented by a Republican since 1974, the general election also proved marginally competitive, with West defeating Republican Dan McMasters 57% to 43%.[4] He was sworn in on January 3, 2017.
