Morrisey, a Republican, has proven his talents in Charleston, serving his current office well while helping the state earn nearly $1 billion in opioid drug settlements. He also has provided the state with a much higher profile on the national level in battling federal policies that he believes are not in the best interest of the Mountain State.
While both candidates have strengths, Morrisey has much greater statewide name recognition and has led polling for much of the election season. But that doesn’t mean voters should just naturally gravitate in his direction.
While his statewide position for the past 12 years obviously helps him, had he not performed well, or if the state was in shambles, it would obviously play against him.
Instead, Morrisey’s performance in his current role provides a positive response from many in polling and for good reason.
He has shown the leadership ability to continue the state’s success, both in terms of within our borders as well as the continual elevation of the state’s reputation outside its borders.
The positive momentum created over the past eight years can’t be neglected, and we believe Morrisey has the skills and political savvy to not only carry the torch but to elevate the level of success.
