WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) released the following statement welcoming U.S. Senator Jim Justice (R-W.Va.) on the occasion of his swearing-in:
“Senator Justice was an outstanding two-term Governor of West Virginia and I am thrilled to welcome him to his next chapter of public service here in the Senate. We had a great relationship while he was governor and accomplished a lot, especially in areas of economic development, and I am looking to continue that success through our partnership here in the Senate,” Senator Capito said. “Senator Justice played a pivotal role in flipping the Senate majority to Republicans, giving us the opportunity to enact President Trump’s agenda. Together, we can work in tandem to implement the changes that West Virginians demanded for our country at the ballot box in November. I’m excited for all he will accomplish as a Senator and look forward to the results we can deliver for the Mountain State as a unified team. I thank him, Cathy, and his family for their continued commitment to serving the people of West Virginia.”
