WASHINGTON, D.C. – Tonight, U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), a member of Senate Republican Leadership, released the below statement following President Donald J. Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress:
“President Trump’s address was a refreshing change from the previous four years. As expected, he delivered a strong and optimistic vision for our country—one that prioritizes securing our border, unleashing American energy, strengthening our military, and providing much needed tax relief for hardworking families. These are issues that matter to West Virginians, and it is exactly why the majority of voters across our country and in West Virginia overwhelmingly supported the president. I was encouraged by President Trump’s focus on unleashing domestic energy production—particularly in states like West Virginia, where coal, natural gas, and manufacturing play a critical role in powering America.
“We are off to a strong start already, but I know our brightest days are ahead. I look forward to continuing our work together in Congress and with the Trump administration to ensure the president’s bold agenda becomes a reality. Doing so will allow us to deliver real results and solve real problems for so many in West Virginia and across our great nation.”
