CHARLESTON, W.Va. — With the 2025 regular session of the West Virginia Legislature less than two weeks away, Gov. Patrick Morrisey and leaders of the House of Delegates and state Senate said Wednesday they were committed to better communication on potential bills.

Morrisey, House Speaker Roger Hanshaw, and state Senate President Randy Smith held a brief press conference Wednesday afternoon at the State Capitol Building following a closed-door meeting where the leaders of the executive and legislative branches discussed the upcoming 60-day session beginning Wednesday, Feb. 12.

“As your new governor, we’re busy working away with some of the terrific leaders of the House and the Senate to try to put together a legislative agenda that’s really going to make West Virginia proud,” Morrisey said. “We’ve talked a lot over the last year about trying to take steps that are going to make West Virginia more competitive. And I think that you’re going to be seeing in the upcoming weeks as different proposals will get unveiled, that there’s an effort to move meaningfully toward economic gains in a lot of different areas.”

“The governor’s points are absolutely correct. We are all committed to doing everything in our power to continuing on the path to putting as many West Virginians as possible to good paying 21st century jobs to give them the capacity to make the best decisions for them and their families,” said Hanshaw, R-Clay.
