“We can start to clean up these terribly burdensome regulations. We can make the tax code much simpler, much flatter, so that it works for everyday people, so we’re incentivizing work. And I want to go down there and actually get things done”

Recorded in: West Virginia AG Patrick Morrisey: Washington Is Broken, and Sen. Manchin Is Part of the Swamp (October 13, 2017)
“President Trump is exactly right. On every issue that truly mattered to West Virginia — such as opposing Hillary, Obama, cap & trade, Planned Parenthood, and higher taxes— Joe Manchin pretended to stand with West Virginians, but then voted with Chuck Schumer and the liberal D.C. Democratic leadership. Joe Manchin is a classic ‘say one thing do another’ politician.”

Recorded in: Patrick Morrisey: Joe Manchin Pretends to Stand with West Virginians but ‘Voted with Chuck Schumer’ on Tax Reform (December 29, 2017)
“For generations, our state has played a huge role in America’s success. For over two centuries, we powered the needs of our country, relying on good old fashion West Virginia resources and a hungry workforce. Our coal miners travel deep inside the earth to extract this rock, which powers our state and makes our steel. Our oil and gas workers break their backs as they work to heat our homes, run our factories, and allow our people to flourish. We won World Wars, in part, thanks to the efforts of so many West Virginians. We are, and always will be, America’s energy state.”

“When I served as your Attorney General, I built the coalition that stopped the radical liberals in DC, which threatened our West Virginia way of life. We went all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court in the famous West Virginia v. EPA case, and won, saving thousands of West Virginia jobs — and we dealt a big blow to the deep state in the process. Tonight, I am here to tell you that our deep energy reserves will help our workers soar again.”

“We will adopt regulatory and tax policies that make West Virginia the most dynamic and friendly state in the country for data, super intelligence, and cryptocurrency facilities. This new center will not only help drive state and national thinking on data and energy needs, but it will create new opportunities for the type of advanced manufacturing jobs that provide long-term economic security for our state. This Center will teach our students in these new fields and also play a crucial role in our state’s vo-tech renaissance.”

“It’s no secret that West Virginia has its fair share of challenges. Tonight, we must be honest with West Virginians about the pathway in front of us. We are going to succeed wildly, but our road to competing and winning will take some time. Especially in light of some of the problems we’ve inherited over the years. We rank 49th in educational attainment, 50th in public health, and last in workforce participation. No one should be satisfied with that. We’ve inherited some big problems.”

“We’re going to uncover all of the waste and abuse that hides in the dark corners of state government – and we will root it out. If you like what President Trump is doing in DC, you’ll love what we’re doing here in West Virginia.”

“I will work with you and put in long hours to help our state succeed. I actually live nearby, but I will also come to your districts. During my campaign for Governor, I visited every one of our 55 counties at least twice. I am humbled to have earned a mandate of 62 percent in the past election, winning every single county. I know that the vast majority of voters support our agenda. Tonight, let’s come together and put the people’s interests over the special interests.”

“Teachers have told me time and time again that in order to be at their best, they need to maintain control of their classrooms and eliminate distractions. We need to work on this. That’s why tonight I am calling on the Legislature to allow schools to ban cell phones in the classroom. Other states have already seen success from similar laws, and I want to give West Virginia’s schools every tool to increase learning outcomes.”

“One of West Virginia’s great strengths is our conservative values. We stand for God, life, religious liberty, the 2nd Amendment, our Constitution, and our freedoms. And we’ll always fight for those values. Within 30 short days, we’ve already made progress tackling some of those issues. From day one, I said that we’re going to root out DEI and eradicate the woke virus from infecting our schools. Upon taking office, I issued an executive order to eliminate DEI in state government and any entity receiving state resources.”

“Last week, I joined President Donald Trump in the White House, signing an executive order that banned men from competing in women’s sports. And I had a chance to meet with my friend Riley Gaines, who has led the charge to save women’s sports and protect women’s spaces. This legislative session, we will pass the Riley Gaines Act. We will define sex-based terms such as “woman,” “man,” “girl,” and “mother;” allow for facilities such as locker rooms, bathrooms, and rape crisis centers to be based on biological sex. West Virginia will lead with common sense!”

“In a few years’ time, when Country Roads plays in Morgantown, thousands of students will be singing not only with pride in a Mountaineer victory. They will sing with pride knowing that their job… their family… and their future… will be right here in West Virginia.”

“I want to thank Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, and the administration for listening to the people of West Virginia and recognizing the importance of this unit — not just in terms of military capability, but also heritage, community, and economic resilience. I also want to commend Maj. Gen. (Jim) Seward for his determined leadership. He argued forcefully that eliminating the 150th was not only a mistake strategically, but also a devastating blow to southern West Virginia. This is an area that has sacrificed greatly for this nation and deserves continued investment.”

“Our tourism industry now supports more than 60,000 jobs and surpasses $9 billion in annual economic impact. Tourism generated more than $1 billion in tax revenue last year. $619 million goes directly to support our state and local governments. Our investment in tourism is paying off. That is why I am requesting $20 million dollars to improve our state parks. We need better lodging, more campsites, and improved roadways leading to these incredible destinations.”

“West Virginia has sent too many of our foster kids out of state to receive care they should receive right here at home. Those placements are costly. They separate children from their families and communities. And they often lead to longer stays and worse outcomes. That’s why I’ve called for the establishment of the Bring Them Home Fund. With a modest investment of $6 million dollars, we can rehabilitate existing state facilities, transform them into world-class centers of care, and begin bringing our children back home. This approach will save our state tens of millions of dollars and provide our children the stability, care, and foundation they need to grow, heal, and prosper. Let’s bring our kids home, where they belong.”

“As I shared earlier, I’m a proud new grandfather. And just like any grandfather or parent, we make sacrifices and hard choices so that the world our kids and grandkids inherit will be better. That’s the spirit that built West Virginia. And that’s the spirit that is driving us forward today. The future we are shaping is one where families can thrive…Workers can succeed… And businesses can grow. Where our kids and our grandkids have the opportunity to achieve big dreams… Right here in West Virginia. The state of our state is getting stronger. We are building a better West Virginia. And we are just getting started.”
