"The men & women who were here before almost all of us ... all of those changes that have built bricks in the wall over decades to put the financial house of the state of WV where it is today, have mattered. And they still matter today."

We’ve had a great time so far meeting in Morgantown the past two days, and visits like this are even better when we get to hear about good things on the horizon for WV, like Mountaintop bottling company, a $175 million facility with 400 jobs when it’s complete.

Our Senator is right, this is incredibly good news. We now have a lot more eyes on West Virginia, and the rest of the world is coming to see Almost Heaven for themselves.

I couldn’t be more excited to help welcome Mountaintop Beverage to West Virginia today. I was blown away by the facility when we saw it back in May, and I can’t wait to see all the great ways they impact our economy.

Any time I can talk about the endless opportunities WVU Extension provides throughout the state, I'm beyond happy to have those conversations. Thank you for the opportunity, Jorge H. Atiles, Ph.D.!

I'm direct about my support for Amendment 2 every time I'm asked & will keep talking about it, given the opportunity. Amendment 2 simply gives the people's elected representatives the opportunity to discuss what the proper tax structure for this state should be, and I'm for it.

I appreciated the invitation for a lengthy talk with WRNR this morning not just about the accomplishments of the recent legislative session, but also the urgency to find solutions to the crisis in our correctional facilities & funds for local fire & EMS. youtube.com/watch?v=mS1P2l…

It was my honor to host a visiting delegation from Ireland this week to talk economic development & educational opportunities. I also got to dust off my bowling skills, a sport I used to partake in regularly!

Our team is still talking about what a great time we had in the other Charleston last week, and everything we learned. Our favorite part was singing Take Me Home, Country Roads with 1,000 of our CSG South friends during the host state reception & we can't wait for next year!

"We’ve been able to do things that are important to our communities, but what are we going to do for the whole state? And that’s our responsibility. That’s our job. And our opportunity to do that won’t come around again until we’re together on that second Wednesday in January."

What an honor to be here among the first to get an up-close look at this beautiful facility. It’s a testament to what happens when people persevere. Go Huskies!

It takes a new kind of training and a new kind of professional to defend our country today. I'm proud that will continue, and I'm excited to see it grow here in Huntington.

ā€œOne of the reasons I’m here, one of the reasons I’m a success in any way is because of Ag Ed & the FFA program. … I didn’t pay a dime of tuition thanks to Ag Ed in Clay County. If I can do it, you can do it too. … The opportunity you have here is an awesome one.ā€

Talking to these undergraduate research students who come present at the Capitol is one of my favorite activities each session. They underscore very clearly the hope we have for the future in our colleges and universities.

Dr. McLaughlin has received an incredible honor, and I'm proud to be the loudest science geek in the state singing her praises. I hope all West Virginians will join me in recognizing and applauding this outstanding accomplishment.

ā€œI had many good teachers,ā€ he said. ā€œBut Tim Ross gave us so much belief in ourselves. So many of my fellow students have gone on to achieve great things. Nobody thought as big as he did – and we all benefited from that.ā€ wvnews.com/jacksonnews/ri…

West Virginia is better today for the short time we had with Doug Skaff. It was my privilege to know him and work alongside him. Yesterday’s tragic accident stole a leader from our community and our state. West Virginia lost a true champion in Doug Skaff, and I lost a good friend
