Randal "Randy" Duane Swartzmiller (born May 14, 1960) is an American politician and a former Democratic member of the West Virginia House of Delegates representing the 1st district from 2000 until his defeat for re-election in 2014. Swartzmiller again served in the House of Delegates from 2018 to 2020, when he left to be an unsuccessful candidate for the West Virginia Senate.
After a close loss to Senate Majority Whip Ryan Weld in 2020, Swartzmiller announced in 2022 that he would again seek election to the Senate. He is seeking to fill the seat won by former Sen. William Ihlenfeld, D-Ohio, in the 2018 election. Sen. Owens Brown, D-Ohio, was appointed to the seat in September 2021 after Ihlenfeld was sworn in as U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of West Virginia.
