U.S. congressional delegation
West Virginia's voice in Washington — its U.S. Senators and House members. Federal law, not state law.
U.S. Senate (2)
U.S. House (2)
Governor
State officials & delegates
The people who represent and run West Virginia at the state level — as opposed to Washington. Its State Senate and House write West Virginia law (the budget, criminal code, schools); its governors lead the executive; its state-court judges interpret it. Browse by role below — sortable, filterable by party, with a Contact button where a legislator publishes a public email.
