Patrick Morrisey running for WV Governor

PARKERSBURG, W.Va. (WTAP) – Current Attorney General Patrick Morrisey is running for West Virginia Governor.

Morrisey spoke out about the opioid problems in West Virginia with one focus point on the education to help the younger generation see it is a bad path to go down.

He says he is set apart from the other candidates running against him because he has the qualified experience by accomplishing big things as the Attorney General.

Morrisey explains what his first 100 days in office would look like and focusing on the Hope Scholarship fund allowing students and families to choose where they want to go.

“Advancing West Virginia economically and one of the ways you do that is you actually set up a competition you look at the tax rates with all the states that you touch, you look at the regulations of all the states that you touch, the educational policy, workforce policy, licensing rules, you lay them all down and then the Governor, the legislature, and the people of West Virginia choose the best policy that’s most free, that’s most economically strong for our state. I think that’s going to be a big part of the first 100 days I am in office. I am also looking to dramatically expand on our Hope Scholarship school choice.” said Morrisey
