Back in June of 2018, FTVLive told you that WCHS (Charleston, WV) Weather Anchor Jim Barach was fired from his job at the station.

He filed an age discrimination lawsuit against the Sinclair station and it will finally go to arbitration on December 15th.

But, Barach has found a new life after TV news.

On election day, Braach was voted into the West Virginia House of Delegates. He will represent District 36 for at least the next two years in the state legislature.

Barach served as the Chief Meteorologist at WCHS-WVAH TV for 13 years.
