News on West Virginia Record

The problem in West Virginia isn’t that we aren’t gaining territory. The problem is that our attention-seeking governor has lost interest in the hard problems the state has and isn’t working on them. Like a kid with an aging pet, he’s gotten bored with West Virginia and he’s off looking for new toys to play with, alongside his fellow trust-fund kid, Jerry Falwell. It’s a shame, but we shouldn’t be that surprised. What’s a job to people who were born rich?

I challenge everyone to stop playing politics. Let’s step forward and pass this legislation, which would put West Virginia out in front and help those people with preexisting conditions.
