Tom Willis Discusses Manufacturing in Wheeling

Ad copy

Standing at Independence Hall in downtown Wheeling, where our State Constitution was penned and West Virginia was born, is a powerful reminder of who we are and what we can achieve. In this historic manufacturing town, we must build a legal and regulatory framework that brings industry back, creates good-paying jobs, and encourages companies to headquarter here on our side of the river. As your next U.S. Senator, and in my work today in the State Senate, I’m focused on restoring West Virginia's economy and making our state a magnet for manufacturing once again.
