Jim Justice has been West Virginia’s governor since 2017, and is seeking to represent the state in the U.S. Senate as his second term ends. He was initially elected as a Democrat, but changed his registration to Republican early in his first term. During his time as governor, he’s advocated for major tax cuts, even as there has been bipartisan concern about the state budget. Before entering politics, Justice spent his career as a businessman who owned several coal companies and bought the Greenbrier Resort, but he’s been dogged by creditors and reports of unpaid debts for his entire tenure in office.
His campaign platform includes leaving abortion policy mostly up to states but setting “reasonable federal limits”, finishing the wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, and reducing the federal debt and government waste.
