Alex Mooney visits Wood County


PARKERSBURG, W.Va. (WTAP) – Alex Mooney made a trip into the community in Wood County.

Throughout his campaign, he has engaged in meet-and-greets and door-knocking events to meet as many voters as possible to remind them of his voting records.

Mooney says if he is elected as a Senator, he wants to continue to fight for conservative values and the residents deserve that.

“Well, I am the only candidate with a proven conservative voting record in this race, and West Virginia deserves a conservative US Senator; that’s me. My name is Alex Mooney. For ten years, I have represented West Virginia in the US House of Representatives, and my voting record is clear on pro-life, Second Amendment, and less taxes. My opponent is liberal, so that is why I am running because West Virginia deserves a conservative. People in Wood County deserve someone who will fight for them for their conservative values and their freedoms. I have done that already as their congressman for the past two years, I have been in Congress for ten years, but I have represented Wood County for the past two years and I have shown that, so if you want someone who has been shown to actually be a fighter against the democrat establishment, I am your guy.” said Alex Mooney, candidate for U.S. Senate

While exploring downtown shops, participants who spot DASH the Dog can collect stamps. Each stamp brings participants closer to the chance of winning prizes from downtown merchants such as gift cards and goods.

West Virginia First Foundation lauds Wheeling police for crisis intervention success


The West Virginia First Foundation visited the Wheeling Police Department to commend its efforts in addressing the area’s mental health and opioid crisis.

Wheeling Police Chief Shawn Schwertfeger presented to the WVFF board, highlighting the department’s progress.

Schwertfeger attributed a 14% decrease in Group A crimes from 2024 to 2025 to the department’s crisis intervention program.

“Just another great partnership,” he said. “More collaboration in this area that we are very proud of and we want to keep the momentum going,.”

WVFF Executive Director Jonathan Board praised the program’s success.

“This in particular, the CIT program, that isn’t just in the ether, but is showing success – actual scientific success about de-escalation, about bringing together services providers and to boots on the ground and first responders, this is vitally important to not only this region but the entire state,” Board said.

The visit was part of WVFF’s ‘Hold the Line’ tour across the state.
