Patrick Morrisey: “It is clear in West Virginia that the harm is already occurring.”

“Every day, our coal miners take on difficult and dangerous work to provide for their families and communities. Their dedication and sacrifice deserve our deepest respect and gratitude.”

“Travis dedicated 24 years of his life to an industry that has helped build West Virginia and power our nation,”

I urge everyone in the affected areas to remain alert, avoid flooded roadways, and follow instructions from local emergency officials.

“We ask all West Virginians to join Denise and me in praying for Travis’s loved ones and the entire mining community during this difficult time,”
