Attorney General Patrick Morrisey made it official Tuesday by filing as a candidate in the May 14 Republican primary to be West Virginia’s next governor.
Morrisey held a press conference outside the Secretary of State’s Office at noon Tuesday prior to filing.
“I’m official,” Morrisey said to the applause from gathered friends, campaign staff, and Republican lawmakers.
“From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all your support,” Morrisey said. “We’ve been working really hard over the last nine months and getting stronger and stronger. And now we’re left with 120 days. Today, the campaign for governor officially begins.”
