Thank you, Moe, for five decades of dedication to the coal industry.”

The following day, March 11, 2026, Senator Justice celebrated receiving recognition in agriculture.

Later on March 11, Senator Justice addressed public safety concerns by alerting residents about severe weather conditions: “Tornado watch is in effect for parts of West Virginia Please be alert, follow weather updates closely, and stay safe!” Tornado watches are issued when weather conditions indicate possible tornado formation and serve as an early warning for communities to prepare accordingly.
