WASHINGTON – Today, Senator Jim Justice released a statement applauding the Trump Administration for the full release of education funds critical to West Virginia school programs:
“Promising to protect West Virginians’ best interests is why I was elected, and results like this show what can happen when you work in good faith with others across government and put people over politics. The release of these funds will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the kids of West Virginia, and I’ll continue to advocate with Senator Capito for the best possible outcomes when problems like this arise,” said Senator Jim Justice.
BACKGROUND:
