Tom Willis Victory

Ad copy

Just last year, Sen. Shelley Moore Capito skipped the vote and killed S. 9 (2025) to weaken protections for girls' sports, but now... conveniently in an election year with a Republican-only primary... she’s pretending she stood for common-sense conservative values all along. West Virginians don’t need "Election Day conversions." We need leaders who are genuine, stand firm, and don’t rediscover their principles only when the political winds shift.
