Capito opens Martinsburg campaign office

Journal photo by John McVey U.S. Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., greets constituents and supporters Monday evening at the opening of her campaign headquarters in Martinsburg. She is running for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va. He announced his retirement last year. Earlier in the day, Capito was in Bridgeport for a tour of Quality Machine Co. and to receive the endorsement of the National Federation of Independent Business. She also visited the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Clarksburg. She said the campaign is going great. “We’ve had several campaign headquarters openings, but this one has a different feel,” Capito said. “I’m returning to a lot of friends, but this one feels bigger.” She feels confident about her chances in the primary — she is the GOP’s presumptive candidate — and she feels confident that the Republican Party can take control of the U.S. Senate after the general election in November. “The states in play are all energy states and the people are concerned about the lack of an energy policy,” Capito said. “And there’s overall dissatisfaction with the Affordable Care Act. People want changes and the Senate is the stumbling block.”
