Kim Wolfe is the former Mayor of Huntington, West Virginia[1] and former Sheriff of Cabell County, West Virginia, formerly having been with the Huntington Police Department for 26 years. He was elected sheriff in the election of 2000 and re-elected in 2004. In 2006, he was the Republican candidate for West Virginia's 3rd congressional district, losing to incumbent Nick Rahall.[2] In 2008, term limited for sheriff, he ran for mayor of Huntington. Kim Wolfe won the Republican nomination with no opposition and soundly defeated 2-term incumbent David Felinton. After four years of economic hardship, the 2012 primary pitted Kim Wolfe against former Huntington Tea Party favorite, Dale Anderson II.[3] On May 8, 2012, Kim Wolfe received 1100 votes to Dale Anderson II's 782.[4]
Mayor Kim Wolfe was defeated by then-City Councilman, and former WV Delegate and Huntington City Manager, Steve Williams on November 6, 2013. It was the first time an incumbent Mayor was denied a second term since Huntington switched to a Strong Mayor form of government in 1985.

Wolfe graduated from Marshall University having studied Criminal Justice Administration, with additional training from Northwestern University. He serves on The United States Anti-Terrorist Advisory Council, and on The Advisory Committee for The National Task Force on Community Preparedness and Response.[citation needed] He and his wife, Deborah have 8 children and 9 grandchildren.
