Incumbent Democratic State Treasurer A. James Manchin won re-election to a second term unopposed, as the Republicans did not field a candidate.
However, just eight months later, Manchin would resign in July 1989 amid a controversy over bad investments before he could face an impeachment trial.[1][2]
