  • Chronology of Women in the West Virginia Legislature
    Chronology Wof men in the West Virginia Legislature 1922-2020 West Virginia Legislature’s Office of Reference & Information, Joint Committee on Government & Finance. 2019. Chronology of Women IN THE West Virginia Legislature When the first woman was elected to office in the mountain state in 1922, West Virginia couldn’t have prepared for the unstoppable force that would become the female politicians the state has to offer. Since Mrs. Anna Gates’s election as a Delegate in 1922, hundreds of empowered women from all over the state have won elections and held a seat in the statehouse, where they helped to craft the policies that have shaped West Virginia for decades. Without the courage and stamina of these women to challenge the men who occupied these seats and hold their own on the chamber floors, West Virginia would look drastically different today. This extensive Chronology of Women in the West Virginia Legislature helps to commemorate the legacies of the hard-working and powerful women who overcame societal expectations to make a difference in the state that they loved and called home.

    Newsletter 2016-42 October 21, 2016 HUB/PAC MAKES GENERAL ELECTION ENDORSEMENTS The Contractors Association of West Virginia’s political action committee, HUB/PAC, has made its endorsements for candidates running for the West Virginia Senate and House of Delegates. HUB/PAC, which stands for Highway-Utility-Building Political Action Committee, surveyed candidates to determine their level of support to prioritize investment in the maintenance and modernization of West Virginia’s infrastructure of roads, bridges, water and sewer, schools, public buildings, dams and other public structures that are vital to jobs, future economic development and a better quality of life for all citizens. Their responses, along with their willingness to give the CAWV a fair hearing on issues affecting the state’s contracting industry, were the basis for making this year’s endorsements. In letters to the candidates, the CAWV said it is asking the CAWV’s 425 members and their thousands of employees to vote for them. A number of good candidates are running this year and HUB/PAC contributions are used to support candidates running for elective office who, regardless of party affiliation, understand the construction industry and the specific needs, interests, and concerns of CAWV member companies and their employees. Members are encouraged to share this endorsement list with people in their company who share the company’s goals and objectives. A full copy is on the CAWV website at www.cawv.org.
