  • Amendment One Passes in West Virginia in Historic Election
    25 Canyon Road, Morgantown, WV 26508 ~ 304.594.9845 ~ [email protected] ~ wvforlife.org For immediate release: For more information: Wednesday, November 7, 2018 Mary Anne Buchanan, Communications Director (304) 594-9845 AMENDMENT ONE PASSES IN WEST VIRGINIA IN HISTORIC ELECTION It was an historic victory for the taxpayers of West Virginia and for unborn Mountaineers as Amendment 1 passed on election night 52-48%. After years of trying to right the wrong of the 1993 Panepinto Decision, the voters had their say. The state constitution is restored to its abortion neutrality and the taxpayer will only pay for Medicaid abortions with rare exceptions. Additionally, West Virginians for Life Political Action Committee (WVL-PAC) applauds the victories of endorsed candidates Tim Armstead and Evan Jenkins in the Division 1 and 2 State Supreme Court races. In the 1st Congressional District, incumbent David McKinley defeated his opponent with 64% of the vote. Incumbent Alex Mooney won in the 2nd Congressional District by 23,039 votes and in the 3rd Congressional District, former Delegate Carol Miller, won by 12 percentage points. Although disappointed that Patrick Morrisey was unable to unseat incumbent Senator Joe Manchin, West Virginians for Life (WVFL) is pleased that he will continue his pro-life work as Attorney General. This will mean that pro-life legislation will be defended, if challenged. In the West Virginia Senate and House, WVL-PAC won in 69% of its endorsed races. Of the 17 Senate races in which endorsements were made, 11 were winners allowing that 23 out of 34 senators support pro-life policies.

    DISSERTATION POLICY INNOVATION AND CHANGE: THE DIFFUSION AND MODIFICATION OF THE RENEWABLE PORTFOLIO STANDARD, 1994 – 2014 Submitted by Katherine Anne Heriot Hoffer Department of Political Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2018 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: Charles E. Davis Antony Cheng Scott T. Moore Kyle L. Saunders Copyright by Katherine Anne Heriot Hoffer 2018 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT POLICY INNOVATION AND CHANGE: THE DIFFUSION AND MODIFICATION OF THE RENEWABLE PORTFOLIO STANDARD, 1994 – 2014 To date, the U.S. federal government has not enacted a national renewable energy policy. Inertia at this level of government creates a policy space that allows American states to take the lead. State policy drives clean energy development. By the fall of 2014, every state in the nation had adopted at least one policy supportive of increased market penetration of renewable energy, and 38 states had adopted either a mandatory renewable portfolio standard (RPS) or a voluntary renewable energy goal. Between January 1, 1995 and the end of 2014, over 207 legislative changes amended existing RPSs and voluntary goals. Of these, most made small modifications or increased renewable energy requirements. Far fewer made significant changes to weaken state policy. This dissertation contributes to our understanding of energy policy innovation and change, where the adoption of an innovation is defined as a policy that is new to the state adopting

  • 2020 WV Youth in Government Report
    West Virginia Youth in Government Ohio-West Virginia Youth Leadership Association Leadership ~ Character ~ Service ~ Entrepreneurship ~ Philanthropy The West Virginia Youth in Government has always been a forum that provides high school students a foundation of democracy and responsible citizenship. This year was no exception. All learned a valuable lesson in 2020. Like many great civic leaders before them, they learned that no matter what obstacle may try to detour you, you have a responsibility to serve others for the good of your school, community, state and nation. That is exactly what the Youth in Government participants did during the Covid-19 pandemic. The students, advisors, volunteers, and YLA staff work throughout the school year in preparation of the Youth in Government conference held annually at the Capitol and Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia. The Covid-19 pandemic may have closed the brick and mortar structures the students treasure utilizing each year as they attend Youth in Government but it did not close a great learning experience for all. Youth in Government 2020 became Youth in Government Virtual 2020. Youth in Government Virtual took on an experience all its own for the youth officers, legislators, justices, lobbyist, and press in 2020. The youth officers and committee chairs stepped up quickly learning the ins and outs of using Zoom then conveying what they learned to the rest of the students. YLA was able to provide the students and volunteers with opening addresses from Governor Jim Justice, Chief Justice Tim Armstead and U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito. Following the opening ceremony, each of the House and Senate Committees used a different virtual committee room to present the legislation they had prepared.
