Governor Jim Justice and Moore Capito host town hall

PARKERSBURG, W.Va. (WTAP) – Governor Jim Justice and Moore Capito hosted a town hall in the Parkersburg Council Chambers along with a meet & greet with the residents of Wood County to listen to their needs and concerns.

Capito expressed good things are happening in West Virginia right now and we need to continue that momentum.

Many people in West Virginia have expressed they are still struggling, and Capito wants to make sure that the momentum reaches everyone within the state.

“Making sure that we have the safest communities in the country. I have been to Wood County and Parkersburg probably dozens of times on this campaign trail over the last 17 months, and we know that public safety is critically important; that means getting the drugs off of our streets here, making sure that our kids can go to school safely and people can get to work safely. Education is absolutely critical for the future of our children” said Capito

Governor Justice also made a visit to Emerson Elementary School to present the School Building Authority award.

We will have more from Governor Justice this weekend.
