Gov. Jim Justice Endorses Moore Capito in West Virginia Gubernatorial Race

In a surprising move, Governor Jim Justice has officially endorsed Moore Capito in the hotly contested West Virginia gubernatorial race. Capito, a former member of the West Virginia House of Delegates and son of U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito, has received the backing of Justice, who is currently running for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate seat.

Justice emphasized the importance of the governor’s race in West Virginia, stating that voters have been asking him for months about his endorsement. He believes that Capito, coming from a family with a strong political background, has the vision and knowledge to elevate the state.

With six Republicans vying for their party’s nomination, including current Attorney General Patrick Morrisey and current Secretary of State Mac Warner, the race is heating up. Polls have shown Morrisey leading, but a recent poll indicated a close race between Morrisey and Capito.

As the primary election approaches on May 14, absentee voting by mail is already underway in West Virginia. Registered voters have until May 8 to request an absentee ballot, and the deadline to register to vote is April 23. Early voting will begin on May 1 and continue through May 11, with Election Day on May 14.

Governor Justice believes that voters have a unique opportunity to support President Trump and create a unified Republican team from West Virginia in Washington. The outcome of the gubernatorial race could have significant implications for the state’s future.
