Every West Virginian should always feel safe in their neighborhood. Businesses should never feel threatened by crime. As Governor, I guarantee that West Virginia will enforce law & order to keep our communities safe. We will invest what is needed to protect our citizens.“Is anyone really surprised that Shelly Moore Capito’s son is a soft on crime RINO?
