AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoWest Virginia GOP primary shake-up: Gov. Patrick Morrisey’s unprecedented, out-of-state PAC-backed slate didn’t deliver a clean sweep. Two of his biggest targets—Sens. Tom Takubo and Vince Deeds—won their primaries handily, while Morrisey did score one win with House Finance Chairman Vernon Criss. State politics: The House Finance chair fight is still in play after Vice Chairman Clay Riley prevailed, and Morrisey’s broader push helped knock out about 14 House incumbents—an early sign that backlash over data-center votes could keep spreading. Miner safety pressure: Separate reporting says Trump-era cuts to federal mine health and safety staffing and enforcement are raising risks and costs for active and retired miners, as a silica rule faces delays. Local watch: Wheeling’s long-running downtown streetscape work is nearing completion, with final resurfacing expected next month.
