U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito has expressed her support for Governor Jim Justice’s decision to fulfill his term as the governor of West Virginia before assuming his role in the United States Senate. In a statement released today, Senator Capito acknowledged Governor Justice’s commitment to completing his gubernatorial duties.

Senator Capito stated, “I very much respect Governor Justice’s decision to honor his commitment to complete his term as Governor of the State of West Virginia.” She further mentioned her anticipation of working alongside him in the Senate, highlighting their shared goal of advancing President Trump’s agenda for the benefit of West Virginians.

Governor Justice’s decision comes amid expectations that he would soon be sworn into the Senate. However, by choosing to remain as governor until the end of his term, he underscores a dedication to fulfilling promises made to his constituents.

The collaboration between Senator Capito and Governor Justice is expected to focus on policies aligned with former President Trump’s initiatives.
