Senator Shelley Moore Capito, who represents West Virginia in the U.S. Senate, recently used her social media platform to comment on legislative opportunities and show support for local college football teams.
On August 29, 2025, Senator Capito posted about bipartisan efforts in Congress regarding energy policy. She stated, “I truly believe that in this Congress we have an opportunity to deliver meaningful, bipartisan legislation that addresses federal energy permitting reform.” The message highlights ongoing discussions in Congress about updating regulations surrounding federal energy projects.
The following day, Capito shifted focus to college athletics. On August 30, 2025, she wrote, “College football is back! Let’s go @WVUfootball! “ In a subsequent post the same morning, she added encouragement for another team: “Cheering you on! Let’s go Herd! “
Senator Capito has been active in promoting changes to federal energy permitting processes, a topic of debate among lawmakers seeking to streamline project approvals while balancing environmental concerns. As a member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works and a long-time advocate for West Virginia interests, Capito frequently addresses both policy issues and state events through her public communications.
