Senator Jim Justice, U.S. senator from West Virginia and former governor of the state, recently highlighted West Virginia’s achievements in energy production, agriculture, and tourism through a series of posts on his social media account.
On March 30, 2026, Justice emphasized the state’s role in the energy sector: “I’ve been saying it forever—it’s all about energy, energy, energy. West Virginia’s ranking as the 5th-largest natural gas producer is no surprise. We’re an energy state with folks who know the business inside and out. This ranking proves it!”
Later that day, he shared his experience participating in a media interview focused on agriculture: “I had an incredible time sitting down with @agripulse for their Meet the Lawmaker series. Agriculture is near and dear to my heart and has been for decades – we even got to talk about wining the Corn Yield Contest in West Virginia. Watch here https://t.co/5M3teejPpt” (March 30, 2026).
On March 31, 2026, Justice praised West Virginia’s tourism sector by referencing a recent national recognition: “West Virginia is the greatest place on Earth! @NewRiverNPS is truly Almost Heaven & was rightfully named the #1 underrated vacation destination by @usnews. I proudly worked with @SenCapito to help designate the NRG as a National Park—and tourism is booming!”
Justice’s public service record includes serving as governor of West Virginia with a focus on economic growth and community development initiatives (official website). He also champions youth programs and constituent engagement through his office. As a lifelong resident of West Virginia who oversees Justice Family Farms and revitalized The Greenbrier Resort through strategic investments, Justice draws upon local experience in his senatorial duties while serving on committees dedicated to job creation and infrastructure improvements (official website).
