Senator Shelley Moore Capito, who represents West Virginia in the U.S. Senate, recently shared several updates on her official X (formerly Twitter) account highlighting community engagement, national observances, and the commemoration of a prominent state leader.
On February 15, 2026, Capito recognized the charitable contributions of a local baseball team: “It might be winter, but it’s still a good time to think about baseball! Recently, @MLB released the charitable impact among their teams. The @goridge_runners contributed over $300,000 to the community. Thank you for all you do for the community, and let’s play ball!”
The following day, she marked Presidents Day with a brief message: “Happy Presidents Day!” (February 16, 2026).
Later on February 16, Capito paid tribute to former Speaker and State Supreme Court Justice Tim Armstead by attending an event in his honor at the House of Delegates Chamber. She wrote: “Joined friends, family, and colleagues of former Speaker and State Supreme Court Justice Tim Armstead to honor his life and legacy with a resolution in the House of Delegates Chamber. Tim was a dedicated public servant, a principled leader, and a true friend. His love for West”
Senator Capito has been active in recognizing both community achievements—such as those by local sports organizations—and significant figures in West Virginia’s political history. As one of West Virginia’s two U.S. Senators since 2015 and previously its representative in Congress from 2001 to 2015, Capito frequently uses her platform to highlight local initiatives and public service.
