Dunbar voters picked incumbent Mayor Terry Greenlee as the Democratic candidate for mayor in the city's primary election Saturday.
Greenlee received 333 votes, well ahead of Ricky Hicks (75 votes) and Roger Wolfe (67 votes), according to unofficial election results Saturday night.
Wolfe was removed from his position in 2008 and was found by the West Virginia Ethics Commission in 2011 to have violated the Ethics Act for receiving reimbursements without proper authority. In an interview Friday, Wolfe said he is innocent and didn't receive a fair hearing.
With no Republican candidate filing for mayor, Greenlee will run uncontested in the city's general election June 6.
"I think we just need to continue what we're doing," Greenlee said after the results came in.
Greenlee said he wants to continue generating economic development for the city, pointing out the jobs that will come with Ollie's Bargain Outlet soon opening a location there. He also touted the success of the new senior center and said he wants to see more after-school opportunities for children.
Greenlee was elected mayor in 2013. In the past, Greenlee had served as recreation director and public works director for the city.
