Governor Patrick Morrisey announced Wednesday that the federal government accepted his request for Individual Assistance in McDowell, Mercer, Mingo, and Wyoming counties following flooding earlier this month in southern West Virginia.
Other counties in the request still remain under consideration by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The Individual Assistance Program provides funds to individuals experiencing significant damage to homes or property.
“I’m grateful to President (Donald) Trump and Secretary (Kristi) Noem for stepping up to support West Virginians in need,” Morrisey said in a press release announcing the declaration. “Thank you as well to Senators (Shelley Moore) Capito and (Jim) Justice, and to Representatives (Carol) Miller and (Riley) Moore, for their efforts. The Major Disaster Declaration will supplement the work being completed on the ground and provide relief to recovering communities in southern West Virginia.”
(WV News) — Members of the state's congressional delegation have joined Gov. Patrick Morrisey's call for a major disaster declaration following recent extreme weather.
U.S. Sens. Shelley Moore Capito and Jim Justice, along with U.S. Reps. Carol Miller and Riley Moore, all of whom are West Virginia Republicans, jointly sent a letter to President Donald Trump and Federal Emergency Management Agency Acting Regional Administrator Lilian Hutchinson.
Rep. Riley Moore (R-WV) introduced legislation late last week that will prevent credit cards from using a special merchant category code (MCC) to track sales of guns and ammunition.
Moore’s legislation, the Protecting Privacy in Purchases Act, would also prohibit financial institutions from tracking gun sales.
West Virginia Republican Reps. Carol Miller and Riley Moore voted Thursday in favor of legislation to permanently classify fentanyl as a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act.
The HALT Fentanyl Act passed the U.S. House of Representatives in a 312-108 vote.
“West Virginia has lost countless citizens to fentanyl overdose, and the HALT Fentanyl Act will close a deadly loophole and empower our justice system to aggressively prosecute the individuals poisoning our communities,” Moore said in a statement.
Rep. Riley Moore, R-W.Va., told Newsmax on Monday that the globalists are "having a big sad" over President Donald Trump's tariffs because he is not going to allow other nations to keep taking advantage of the United States.
"Thank God we have somebody back in the White House that is actually doing something for the American people," Moore said on "Newsline." "My state, here in West Virginia, we have had countless, countless fentanyl deaths and we know where this stuff is coming from. It's been coming over the Mexican border. Those chemicals are shipped in from China.
"Nobody's been doing anything about it and within 24 hours, President Trump has now gotten the Mexicans to agree to actually do something on their own border with us. It's astounding when you actually care about the American people, what can be accomplished."
House Appropriations Committee member Rep. Riley Moore, R-W.Va., told Newsmax on Tuesday that he will work with the panel to ensure that President Donald Trump's administration continues to have the resources needed to deport criminal migrants.
"The president was so crystal clear on laying out his America first agenda, and, as it relates to the deportations, we have seen this president move faster in the last week and do more than President Biden did in his entire four years to try to address the border," Moore said on "National Report." "It's not even close. We've seen mass deportations all over this country deporting criminal aliens that are in our country who have committed crimes — rapists, murderers, you name it. I mean, the worst of the worst, and he is making this country safe again.
"I will tell you, as an appropriator on the House Appropriations Committee, I am going to do everything that I can to guarantee President Trump has all the resources he needs to continue these mass deportations," he added.
WASHINGTON (WV News) — Members of West Virginia’s congressional delegation added their signatures to a letter calling on President Donald Trump to reinstate “life-affirming” policies from his term.
