Morrisey, wrapping up his third four-year term as the state’s top attorney, told attendees that he wants to continue to build on the work of Gov. Jim Justice and the West Virginia Legislature, but said there was more to do and he is the man to lead the state into that future.
“With the right policies, we have a chance to move up in the rankings in a way that you haven’t seen before,” Morrisey said. “The future is very bright for West Virginia, but we’re going to need to work together…We are all on Team West Virginia now, and we have a chance to do some pretty amazing things together.”
As governor, Morrisey is planning to tackle reducing taxes, regulations, and other hindrances to state economic growth. Morrisey wants to study neighboring states to see how West Virginia can be competitive and exceed bordering states to make West Virginia more attractive for investment.
