U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin said he received an early lesson in politics from his father, and it’s one he’s never forgotten.
“Dad was never big in me getting into politics,” Manchin said during a recent in-depth interview. “My Uncle Jimmy (A. James Manchin) was the politician, but Dad always warned me it was a tough business.”
But the desire to become a public servant led Joe Manchin to politics, and his dad made sure he understood the responsibility.
“I remember when I had an acquaintance that tol… Continue Reading

Our country has never been more energy-independent than we are today.
This is something to celebrate. And it would not have been possible without the Inflat… Continue Reading

I am now more concerned than ever about the potential for staff relocations and significant reductions in services for West Virginia families and businesses.
I also need to set the record straight in response to an opinion piece penned by a … Continue Reading

History had its eyes on the United States Senate last week.
Illegal immigration across our southern border is the greatest threat facing our country today, and it has been a growing problem across both Democratic and Republican administrations for years.
Last week, we finally had a chance to address it, but instead, I watched the U.S. Senate vote to block one of the strongest border security bills in decades.
