Hannah Geffert is an American politician serving as a member of the West Virginia Senate from the 16th district. She was appointed in September 2021, succeeding incumbent Democrat John Unger, who retired to become a Berkeley County magistrate.[1][2] Geffert originally announced she would serve for the remainder of the unexpired term and would not seek reelection for a full term in the 2022 election.[3] However, on March 2, 2022 she reported that she changed her mind and would run for re-election. She cited learning that the position would go unopposed and unfinished business in Charleston as reasons for her decision.[4]
