Ohio House of Representatives

As a result, Wiggam was one of two Republicans to seek the nomination to replace him.^[2] With the district being made up of Wayne County, which Wiggam had represented as a commissioner for three terms, he defeated opponent David C. Kiefer by a 66% to 34% margin.^[3]

In the general election, he easily defeated independent Stephen R. Spoonamore with 67% of the vote.^[4] He was sworn into office on January 3, 2017.
