CHARLESTON, WV (WVPREPBB) – Every year during an election year, candidates for public office, including the Democratic and Republican contenders for governor of West Virginia, crowded the Ripley Fourth of July parade.
Both Huntington Mayor Steve Williams (D) and Attorney General Patrick Morrisey (R) entered cars in the Ripley procession. They greeted voters, shook hands, and struck up conversations in an attempt to win them over.
“Charting a path, a model for the management of state government.” We have always operated our office. Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, the Republican nominee for governor of West Virginia, said, “We try to run it like a Swiss clock, and I think it’s so important that we do the right thing and West Virginia is going to have strong transformational government.”
“Well, just like Mayor Rader in Ripley, I know how to be able to run a city.” Mayor Steve Williams, the Democratic nominee for governor of West Virginia, stated, “It’s about time that West Virginia has a governor who has been a mayor.”
Every contender promises to run on his or her track record of addressing the opioid crisis and pledging to do so should they win the governorship.
Both candidates are vying to replace Republican Governor Jim Justice, who is seeking the U.S. Senate and has reached the end of his tenure.
