Had a great evening joining my granddaughter Kelsey at Georgetown’s Conflict Transformation Lab for a thoughtful conversation on leadership in challenging times—made even better with some delicious food from Mama K’s Kitchen. Proud to support the next generation of leaders.

I’ve seen firsthand the anger & tribalism that have infected our political system. If you’re saying, “There has to be a better way?” There is. Dead Center offers a path forward to governance based on what our American founders practiced: Common Sense. static.macmillan.com/static/smp/dea…

All of the decisions I’ve had to make have been made based on common sense, West Virginia values. They never left me when I went to Washington. Read more from WOWK 13 News: wowktv.com/news/west-virg…

I appreciate my lifelong friend, Brother Nick Saban, reflecting on our Farmington roots and how the values instilled in us from our families and our home state of West Virginia continue to guide us to this day. al.com/alabamafootbal…

Gayle and I are mourning the loss of His Holiness Pope Francis and praying for peace around the world during this difficult time. While we mourn Pope Francis’s passing, we celebrate the legacy of peace and civility he has brought to the world. The kindness and mercy that he gave

I'd like to thank FERC Commissioner Willie Phillips for his service to our nation. I worked closely with Willie as Chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, and I admired his ability to work across party lines to address critical issues facing our nation,

Every working person in America should expect a safe working environment so they can make it home safely every night to their family. As governor of West Virginia, I took that responsibility personally because I knew what was at stake for our miners and their loved ones. In my

West Virginia elections are heading in the wrong direction. Lawmakers just banned ranked choice voting—even though we’ve never used it. At the same time, they’re trying to shut out over 300,000 independent voters from participating in primary elections. That’s nearly 30% of West

Last week, I was back in Washington to join my friend, Senator Chris Coons, for a fireside chat on U.S. energy leadership and security. As our demand for energy increases, it is more critical than ever that we embrace all-of-the-above energy policy so that Americans will have reliable,

I congratulate Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost on being elected our next Pope and am praying for God to give him strength and guidance as he prepares to lead the Catholic Church. Please join me in praying for His Holiness Pope Leo XIV as he shares God’s message of love,

Ohio elections are heading in the wrong direction. State lawmakers are considering Senate Bill 63, which would ban ranked choice voting (RCV) statewide—even though Ohio doesn’t currently use it. Worse, the bill goes further by penalizing counties that choose to adopt RCV by

Today's news of Moody's downgrading the U.S. credit rating was predictable and preventable. It is the result of an abject failure of leadership in Congress and the executive branch that has spanned decades. This is entirely a self-inflicted wound. Our current political

Gayle and I are praying for former president Joe Biden and hoping for a full and speedy recovery.

Today, we honor and remember our Fallen Heroes - the brave men and women who gave everything in defense of our nation. We will never forget their service and sacrifice.
