This year, as we celebrate America’s 250th birthday, it is an opportunity to give thanks to the West Virginians who have served our country. Today and every day, I am thankful for the service of the men and women of our armed forces, their families, and the sacrifices they have made on behalf of liberty and freedom—both at home and abroad. Because of them, West Virginians are free.
My full statement here: capito.senate.gov/news/press…
This includes $87 million in additional costs in West Virginia alone. It’s time to pass the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act!
Data from the National Association of Manufacturers (@ShopFloorNAM) shows that permitting delays are costing America’s manufacturers $12.1 billion every year! That is a staggering amount of development left on the sidelines.
All this has led to lost jobs, missed economic opportunities, and higher prices across America. Passing the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act could not be more urgent. nam.org/permitting-delays-en…
Congratulations to my colleagues elected to serve on the Senate Republican leadership team! I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue serving alongside them as RPC Chairman and fully support @LeaderJohnThune as we work together to advance our priorities and deliver results for the American people.
On this day in 1978, President Jimmy Carter signed legislation establishing the New River Gorge National River.
In 2020, my bill to designate @NewRiverNPS as a National Park and Preserve passed, protecting more than 70,000 acres along the river! Honored to have played a role in putting this WV treasure on the map.
Tonight’s vote to advance the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act is a win for our country.
Pleased to see @HHSGov announce $202 million in funding for West Virginia through the Rural Health Transformation Program.
This investment wouldn’t be possible without the Working Families @TaxCuts, which we worked hard to secure in the Senate. Thank you to @POTUS for his continued commitment to ensuring our rural communities have access to the resources they deserve.

A vote against the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act is a vote against bipartisan compromise.
BAAJA is a major WIN for the American people and central to lowering costs and getting our country back to building. Let’s get this bill passed!
I agree, @POTUS! Thank you for your endorsement of the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act, and thanks to the members of your administration who have worked with us to make this bill possible.
We have the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the future of our country, and I look forward to getting this bill to your desk.
This National Veterans and Military Families Month, we honor our brave men and women in uniform and their families who sacrifice alongside them.
To all the veterans and military families, thank you! 🇺🇸
Passing the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act is key to lowering costs for American families and getting back to building in our country again.
We’ve worked around the clock, across the aisle, and with both chambers of Congress to strengthen this legislation and increase support. Countless organizations and stakeholder are backing BAAJA because it unlocks America’s potential and we must move it forward on Monday.
Proud to announce that the @SocialSecurity Administration has agreed to open a temporary office in Logan while plans move forward to build a permanent replacement for the office that closed this spring due to structural issues.
We are deeply appreciative of SSA leadership for working with us to provide this much needed relief to the people of Logan and surrounding communities.
Our broken federal permitting system is costing American manufacturers $12.1 billion every year—including $87 million in additional costs in WV alone. The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act would finally let these projects move forward efficiently and would save our manufacturers $4.2 billion annually.
American needs to build again. Passing BAAJA is a no brainer.

Deeply saddened by the passing of former Senator and Governor Jay Rockefeller. Jay dedicated his life to serving West Virginia and our nation, leaving a lasting legacy. He was always a true gentleman who treated me with respect, kindness, and encouragement. Over the years, we developed a wonderful friendship that transcended politics, and I will always be grateful for that. Above all, Jay loved his family. Charlie and I are keeping Sharon, their children and grandchildren, and the entire Rockefeller family in our prayers.
In one week, the Senate will vote on the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act — taking the first step toward delivering bipartisan, comprehensive permitting reform.
BAAJA will unleash American energy, lower costs, and create good paying jobs. Let’s get this bill passed!
Great to participate in the ribbon cutting for @KanCoAmbulance’s new South Charleston substation today.
Proud have helped secure funding for this project to address the needs of our first responders and improve EMS response times.
This is welcome news for West Virginia!
We worked hard in the Senate to deliver the Working Families @TaxCuts that made this funding possible, and I am pleased to see these investments coming to life to strengthen our rural health care systems.

So great to be at @ShepherdU to celebrate the inauguration of President Wesson.
I look forward to my continued work with Dr. Wesson to build on the university’s achievements and expand opportunities for the next generation of leaders in our state.
