RThanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts, communities across the country are thriving. That’s true here in Moorefield, where Pilgrim’s is gearing up to open an affordable child care facility for its team members. https://t.co/Zh6olxbjIQ
An afternoon well spent! @BabydogJustice and I headed to our favorite ground blind in Monroe County and bagged a nice whitetail with our compound bow! Babydog loves being out in the blind and waiting on a perfect buck. Wishing everyone a great and safe hunting season. https://t.co/WDgMqjqKi9
Today, I met with team members and growers at Pilgrim’s in Moorefield. The poultry industry plays an important role in feeding America, supporting jobs, and keeping our agricultural economy moving. We must get the Farm Bill, which includes my Hot Rotisserie Chicken Act, over the finish line.
On National Farmers Day, we thank every farmer in West Virginia and across the nation. You are the heartbeat of our communities, keeping us fed, fueled, and strong. We appreciate you today and every day! https://t.co/6L4uxaQK3m
Thrilled to join @marshallu's flight school to celebrate their partnership with @BETA_aircraft. The future of aviation in West Virginia is in great hands. https://t.co/5Lz1dHEVvm
Manufacturing is the backbone of our economy, and West Virginia is proud to lead the way! Great to visit with the hardworking team at Gestamp for National Manufacturing Week. https://t.co/MXIzft9yqc
CHARLESTON, WV – Today, Senator Jim Justice visited Gestamp South Charleston during National Manufacturing Week to highlight the importance of manufacturing and the West Virginians who power it. “As America brings manufacturing home and electricity demand rises, West Virginia should be producing the power that fuels that growth – not watching the investment go somewhere else. For a manufacturer like Gestamp, you have to have power that is both affordable and reliable. A plant cannot operate if the grid is unreliable, and high electricity costs make it harder to compete. I’ve always advocated for an “all the above” energy approach. West Virginia already has the energy resources and workforce to help meet this growing demand. When Congress passes the permitting reform and makes it easier to turn those resources into actual generation, transmission, and manufacturing jobs,” said Senator Jim Justice. “It was a pleasure to welcome Senator Jim Justice to our South Charleston facility, and we truly appreciate him taking the time to visit our team and show his support for manufacturing in our community. National Manufacturing Week is a great opportunity to celebrate the people behind what we do, and we’re incredibly proud and grateful for our hardworking Gestamp employees who make our success possible every day,” said Federico Mattassini, Director of Operations Gestamp US. “As competition for manufacturing investment continues to grow across the country, strong partnerships between industry and state leadership are essential to maintaining a competitive business environment and supporting long-term growth. We appreciate Senator Justice taking the time to understand the challenges facing our South Charleston facility and recognize the importance of continued investment, job retention, and the dedicated workforce that makes manufacturing in West Virginia possible,” said Jared Lahiff, Sales & Strategic Planning Manager Gestamp US. # # #
Great visit at Ripley High School with @BabydogJustice. It’s always special to see what young folks are accomplishing in the classroom, on the field, and throughout their school. Keep up the great work, Vikings! https://t.co/YJy8kuV39A
West Virginia State University’s new agricultural complex will transform our state's future. As Governor, we delivered $50M for the project, and I’m proud to see continued investment driving real momentum today. https://t.co/pqTnrrCbol
Out of this world! Honored to thank the incredible @Constellium team in Ravenswood for their work supporting @NASA’s Artemis program. West Virginia manufacturing is leaving its mark on history. https://t.co/CnIhc5DcYb
RAVENSWOOD, WV – Today, Senator Jim Justice visited Constellium Ravenswood and highlighted West Virginia’s role in manufacturing and in aerospace and space exploration during World Space Week and National Manufacturing Week, including Constellium’s contributions to NASA’s Artemis program. “For years, I’ve said West Virginia is on a figurative rocket ship ride. Well, right here in Ravenswood, at Constellium we don’t have to imagine it. We can see a true rocket ship ride happening right in front of us. Right here in Ravenswood, you helped build the foundation that carried astronauts around the Moon. You do not have to leave West Virginia to do extraordinary things. The workforce right here is proving that every single day,” said Senator Jim Justice.
Returning to my alma mater, Woodrow Wilson High School, is always special—especially for events like Keep the Ball Rolling alongside Communities In Schools. Every public school across West Virginia will receive $1,500 for its virtual pantry to give students access to essential daily supplies. Thank you to the Ball Family, the Wing 2 Wing Foundation, and the Pack Family Foundation for stepping up for our kids!
I had an amazing lunch today with West Virginia National Guard Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe and his family, Melody, Jason and Trenton. After everything Andrew has been through, seeing him here smiling is truly inspiring. He is a true American hero. Huge thank you to Katie Rose Faircloth for setting this up.
It was great to visit Southside Elementary and read to Ms. Beckett’s kindergarten class! We wrapped up with a great assembly with @SenCapito and @LarryPack. https://t.co/ZW5IHvtvMy
Protecting our railways means backing the folks on the ground. @SenGaryPeters and I just introduced a bipartisan bill to boost recruitment and retention of FRA safety inspectors. Our inspectors do an incredible job, and we must attract more people to keep it up.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Jim Justice released a statement supporting President Trump’s immigration agenda. “Let me be crystal clear: I support President Trump’s immigration strategy, full stop. It’s not surprising that some are twisting my words to score political points, but there should be no confusion about where I stand. What’s been accomplished by President Trump in regards to our border and immigration is truly amazing. President Biden allowed millions upon millions to illegally enter our country. Cleaning up this mess has been a tremendous accomplishment. Our brave ICE officers are doing an incredible job protecting our communities, and they must continue to focus on criminals who are here illegally and putting Americans in danger. Violent criminals, drug traffickers, gang members and others who threaten our communities should be identified, arrested and removed. President Trump has made securing our border and restoring law and order a top priority, and I support that effort. As a senator, I will continue working with the administration and our law enforcement officers to make West Virginia and this country safer. West Virginians expect us to enforce the law, protect our communities, and keep dangerous criminals off our streets. That is exactly what I support,” said Senator Jim Justice. # # #

I had a great discussion with members of the American Academy of Orthopadic Surgeons. The specialized care they provide is critical to keeping West Virginians healthy and active. https://t.co/xebZAFuBMW

We’ve got a busy week ahead in the Senate, and we are right at the finish line on a few major items. Let’s finish the job. https://t.co/s214iWTvQO
Title IX is restored, and biological reality is BACK. As Governor, I fought like crazy for our female athletes, and today that West Virginia fight is the law of the land. Thank you, @POTUS, for restoring sanity and protecting women athletes just like my own team.
Tough time for all of us at The Greenbrier as we lost our friend, Philip Bostic. Phillip was a proud servant who loved our community and poured his heart into his work at The Greenbrier for decades. Cathy and I are praying for his wife, Janice; his children, Katherine, Phillip “Wayne”, and Peter; and the entire Bostic family.
Hearts of Gold passing the Senate during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is a powerful moment. To every West Virginia family touched by childhood cancer: We see you, we stand with you, and we will never stop fighting alongside your brave kids. https://t.co/x6BlxoODSE
Good luck to my friend @SenCapito and everybody stepping up to the plate in tonight’s @CWSoftballGame! You all will be knocking it out of the park for a great cause.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Jim Justice marked the Senate’s unanimous passage of his legislation to rename a playground in New River Gorge National Park and Preserve the “Hearts of Gold Playground: In Honor of West Virginia Children and Families Impacted by Childhood Cancer.” “Seeing this pass the Senate during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is something really special. It sends a message to every West Virginia family touched by childhood cancer that we see you, we stand with you, and we will always remember the courageous kids who have fought this terrible disease. My hope is that every laugh heard here and every memory made here brings a little more light into their lives. The brave West Virginia children we have named this playground after truly have hearts of gold,” said Senator Jim Justice. “Redesignating this playground is a great way to honor our youngest and bravest West Virginians fighting cancer,” Senator Capito said. “I applaud the Senate for passing this effort. It is my hope that this playground honors the strength of children and their families battling pediatric cancer and brings them pure fun and joy.” BACKGROUND: Senator Justice introduced this bill alongside Senator Capito and Representative Miller on September 30, 2025, during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. The primary playground located in the Grandview area at New River Gorge National Park and Preserve has long served as a space for families to gather, children to play, and the community to come together in one of West Virginia’s most scenic and beloved parks. The name carries symbolic meaning: “Hearts of Gold” honors the incredible strength of those battling pediatric cancer. The Gold Ribbon is the international symbol for childhood cancer awareness. While Governor, Senator Jim Justice announced September as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in West Virginia. Additionally, he signed a bill into law providing a special license plate for Curing Childhood Cancer. # # #
