In a significant transition for state leadership, Riley Moore, West Virginia's Treasurer and a former delegate representing Charles Town, is set to resign to take his seat as the U.S. House representative for the 2nd District. With Larry Pack poised to take over Moore's treasurer position a week early, Governor Jim Justice has ensured a smooth handoff to avoid disruptions in financial services. As he prepares to be sworn into Congress, Moore emphasizes the urgency of upholding fiscal responsibility and supporting his party's agenda. This move comes as the House prepares for a critical vote on leadership, including the prospective re-election of Speaker Mike Johnson amid a narrow Republican majority.
