West Virginia Chamber of Commerce PAC Announces First Round of Endorsements in 2024 Primary Elections
April 1, 2024
Charleston, W.Va. – The West Virginia Chamber of Commerce Political Action Committee has announced its first round of endorsements for the May 2024 Primary Election in West Virginia. West Virginia Chamber President Steve Roberts stated, “the West Virginia Chamber’s endorsement process is member-driven. Our members are located across fifty-five counties of West Virginia and employ over half of West Virginia’s workforce. These members are also engaged in every economic and industrial sector in the state. The Chamber PAC has been gathering feedback and listening closely when making decisions about who to endorse.”
In races for the West Virginia Legislature, endorsements are based on an incumbent’s voting record and their general work on advancing economic development. For non-incumbents, extensive interviews play an important role in helping to determine how a candidate will work as a member of the legislature.
Roberts continued, “The West Virginia Chamber PAC is continuing to interview candidates and is still making decisions in a number of races, but we are excited to roll out the list of first-round endorsements. The quality of the candidates that are running this year is among the best that we’ve seen and we feel optimistic in our goal of making West Virginia a better place to live, work and raise a family.”
