Appalachia is the very spine of America; West Virginia is the only state that is entirely within the Appalachian region. For centuries, these are the people who provided the energy to heat our homes and our businesses, consistently enlisted in the U.S. Armed Forces at higher rates per capita than almost any other region in the country, and whose fierce independence has been both celebrated and ridiculed.
And they're proud of all of it.

Appalachia has a way of drawing people towards it in a way even sometimes they don't understand--but it is undeniably there.

@CrescentGallagh @LanceWheelerWV God bless this tweet.

The SEC picked the wrong school to hand a physics assignment to in order to decide a baseball game.

Here’s the math behind the blown home run call, if you’re interested.

“David McKinley spent his final days at Willow Glen, the house that represents his family’s legacy, in the city that shaped him, in the state he never stopped serving. West Virginia has lost one of its finest sons.”

[Conrad Lucas @ConradWV]

@stevenadamswv This is so sad to hear. He absolutely laid the groundwork for the modern WVGOP and was a tremendous person.

[Conrad Lucas @ConradWV]

David McKinley was a statesman by every definition. He was a leader, pioneer and a Republican when the only reason to be was a commitment to principles. He was a mentor to me when I served as WVGOP Chair and remained a friend. WV is better for the life this gentleman lived.

[Patrick Morrisey @MorriseyWV]

This was an underrated piece of legislation, but it will really help our workforce. Glad to have worked with the Legislature and helped push it through the finish line. One part of our very successful session…

Vanderbilt has THE MOST combined football and basketball wins in the SEC.

They are playing in the SEC Basketball Championship Game.

They have a Top 15 football team.

The Commodores are THE BEST OVERALL ATHLETIC PROGRAM IN THE SEC!

Greyhounds have been treated as disposable for too long: confined, injured, and raced to fuel a gambling industry most of the country has already rejected.

Iowa led the charge by banning greyhound racing. It’s time to close the remaining loopholes and ensure man's best friend isn't exploited for profit.

As a states’ rights guy, I trust Freddie over his federal counterpart. #GroundhogDay #WV

[Patrick Morrisey @MorriseyWV]

French Creek Freddie saw his shadow today, meaning six more weeks of winter. Huge gathering here in Upshur County, where we also dedicated another #MountaineerMile trail. No cold weather is going to limit our state’s Mountaineer spirit!
