Washington Abel Sager (November 18, 1850 – March 18, 1905)[1] was an American politician who served in the Virginia House of Delegates.[2]
In September 1895, the Republicans, Populists and Prohibitionists of Shenandoah County gathered to nominate a candidate to the Virginia House of Delegates. While the Republican James G. McCune was expected to win, the Prohibitionists had a majority and Sager was nominated.[3]
Under the banner of the Honest Election Party, Sager was elected to the House in November 1895. McCune was elected State Senator for the county under the same banner.[4][5]
