Chamber PAC Endorses Bill Cole for Governor Charleston, W.Va. – The West Virginia Chamber Political Action Committee today announced its endorsement of Bill Cole for Governor of West Virginia. Bill Cole has served as the President of the West Virginia Senate since 2015. West Virginia Chamber President Steve Roberts stated, “Bill Cole works tirelessly to promote job creation and economic development in West Virginia. Under his leadership, the West Virginia Legislature has begun the most comprehensive series of job creation reforms in a lifetime. His leadership in the Governor’s Office will allow West Virginia to embark on a new era fueled by Bill Cole’s energy, enthusiasm and expertise.” The Chamber PAC, which announced the endorsements, is the political arm of the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce, which is the state’s leading association of employers whose priority is job creation and economic development. Chamber members employ over half of West Virginia’s workforce. Roberts continued, “We listen carefully to our members for guidance, and they have clearly and overwhelmingly indicated their support for Bill Cole to be the next Governor of West Virginia.” During the two legislative sessions in which Bill Cole served as President of the Senate, the Legislature enacted legislation to: . support small businesses . promote good health initiatives . guarantee legal fairness and removed partisanship from our state’s courts . implement regulatory reforms that protect public health while encouraging businesses to grow a create jobs . undertake significant education and workforce preparedness measures .
