Senator Jim Justice highlighted West Virginia’s recent progress in highway infrastructure and celebrated a major collegiate sports achievement in a series of posts on March 19, 2026.

In his first post, Justice announced, “West Virginia climbs the ranks to 30th from 33rd in the @ReasonFdn Annual Highway Report. This report, based on 2023 data, proves exactly what I said all along: the roads plan I laid out is continuing to deliver beyond what I could’ve ever imagined.” The Reason Foundation’s annual report tracks and evaluates state highway systems across the country.

He followed up with another message underscoring economic stability, stating, “Our foundation is rock-solid, and it’s driving real, lasting prosperity across our state. @wvgovernor @WVDOT” Both posts referenced ongoing infrastructure initiatives and partnerships with state agencies.

Later that day, Justice turned attention to athletics by congratulating West Virginia University’s rifle team for their national success. He wrote, “Mountaineers on target—again! Congratulations, @wvurifle team, on winning your 21st National Championship. You’ve set the standard for excellence—keep making history!”

Jim Justice has a longstanding focus on economic growth and youth engagement through his office as noted by his official biography (source). Before serving as U.S. senator from West Virginia—a role he assumed after years as governor—Justice emphasized job creation and infrastructure enhancements during his campaigns (source). He is also recognized for revitalizing The Greenbrier Resort and overseeing Justice Family Farms (source). A lifelong resident of West Virginia who earned undergraduate and MBA degrees from Marshall University—where he captained the golf team—Justice often references his local roots in public statements (source).
