Riley Moore, West Virginia's state treasurer, easily won the heated Republican primary race to represent the state's 2nd Congressional District.
West Virginia state Treasurer Riley Moore has easily won a heated Republican primary in his home state and will likely be headed to Congress following the November general election. Moore led the closest of his four opponents by a margin of more than 25 points when the Associated Press called the race. Former Air Force Brig. Gen. Chris 'Mookie' Walker, who had been considered Moore's most competitive challenger, trailed in a surprising third place.
Moore spent his time in office as a staunch opponent of 'woke' environmental, social and governance investing standards, which critics say allocate investment funds based on political agendas, such as combating climate change. And he ran as a proponent of America First policies. He was also an early supporter of former President Trump's current bid for the White House, endorsing him in February 2023. Moore will face Democratic nominee and Navy veteran Steven Wendelin in November.
