Clinton Nolan Nichols (November 24, 1944 – December 30, 2024) was an American politician from the state of West Virginia. He served as a Democratic member of the West Virginia House of Delegates from 1993 to 1996. Born in Clay, West Virginia, he was the son of Kelles and Beulah (née Grose) Nichols. He married Beverly Carper in 1969, and they would have four children. A farmer and printer, he owned the Elk Printing Company and the Clay County Free Press for nearly 40 years.[1] When Governor Gaston Caperton elevated 33rd district delegate Randy Schoonover to the state senate, he appointed Nichols to fill his seat, effective October 14, 1993.[2] The following year, he narrowly won the Democratic primary for re-election, and won the general election unopposed.[3][4] He then narrowly lost the 1996 primary to Bill Stemple.[5] Nichols died on December 30, 2024, at the age of 80.[1]
