Senator Shelley Moore Capito recently announced the nomination of her son, Moore Capito, alongside local prosecutor Matt Harvey as U.S. Attorneys for the Northern and Southern Districts of West Virginia. The announcement has sparked controversy, particularly from the state’s Democratic Party, which questions the timing of her support for a controversial tax and spending bill in relation to her son's appointment. Moore, a former state delegate with ties to the area, is recognized for his work in law and has previously sought a gubernatorial position. The discussion around this nomination has implications even for towns like Charles Town and Harpers Ferry as residents watch the unfolding political dynamics connected to local leadership and federal appointments.
