CHARLESTON – Today is the primary election in West Virginia. The polls opened this morning at 6:30 a.m. and close at 7:30 p.m. this evening.  WVCA President Bill Raney released the following comments:

“We can honestly say that never in the history of our state has a single election been more important. We are choosing offices all the way from the county courthouse to the White House, “ Raney said. “And the very future of our state and our state’s leading industry ride, in large part, on the outcome of this vote.  We would also urge you to specifically vote for Beth Walker in the race for Supreme Court.  Today’s election will determine who will be the next justice.  It is important to remember there is no general election in November for the Supreme Court.”
