Bill Cole has served as the President of the West Virginia Senate since 2015.

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 .
