Resignation and accusations of discriminatory social media posts (2020)

Jan. 1, 1900

On October 3, 2020, Mandt resigned after he was accused of circulating social media posts against gay people and Muslims. As reported by Cumberland Times-News, Mandt responded to the accusations in a deleted Facebook post: "Everything electronic can be fabricated. It's by design, my family, my business are being attacked." On the night of his resignation, the West Virginia House of Delegates issued a statement in which Mandt said, "Right now, my focus and priority needs to be on my family and business, and feel it is best at this time to terminate my campaign and make room (for) other individuals to serve the state." As of October 9, 2020, Mandt's name remained on the ballot. According to the Charleston Gazette-Mail, Mandt said he would serve if re-elected.
