After learning of his win, he credited his victory to the voters. “I think it’s the work I’ve done on water and sewer projects. This year we have two water projects that are going to be turning dirt. We have sewer projects that are going to be turning dirt. I think people realize I work hard and I can’t thank the citizens of Raleigh County enough.”

Tolliver has served on the Raleigh County Commission since 2010.
