Senator Shelley Moore Capito posted a series of tweets in late July 2025 highlighting economic developments, local infrastructure progress, and a Senate committee appearance. Capito is the senior U.S. Senator from West Virginia.
On July 30, 2025, Capito commented on recent economic news by stating, “Shattering expectations! Our economy is on the up and up thanks to @POTUS!” This tweet referenced ongoing discussions about national economic performance under President Biden’s administration.
The following day, Capito reflected on a legislative milestone involving local infrastructure. She wrote on July 31, 2025: “Two years ago, my effort to transfer a former Army Reserve facility to the City of Wheeling was signed into law. I am proud to hear that today this facility is not only housing key fire response functions, but also urgently-needed flood relief.” The transfer of federal property for community use has been part of broader efforts to address disaster response needs in West Virginia.
Also on July 31, Capito welcomed Mike Stuart at a Senate Finance Committee hearing as he was considered for General Counsel at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). She tweeted: “Happy to welcome Mike Stuart and his family today as he appears before the @SenFinance Committee as @POTUS’ nominee to be General Counsel at @HHSGov.”
Capito has served in the U.S. Senate since 2015 and frequently addresses issues related to economic development, emergency management, and federal nominations affecting her state.
