Parkersburg-area GOP optimistic after Trump’s State of the Union speech

Wood County Commissioner Blair Couch said he was hoping for a speech where the president will attempt to bring the country together.

“I hope he takes a page from the Ronald Reagan book and hopefully offers some conciliation to the other side,” he said. “It has been a tough year; I’m more of a John Kasich Republican and that puts me in a different position for West Virginia.”
