On March 27, Capito commented on a major technology investment: “Thrilled about @Google’s announcement of a new data center campus in Putnam County. This major investment will strengthen infrastructure, support job creation, and drive economic growth in West Virginia. I’m excited to collaborate with them on such an innovative project.”
The following day, Capito highlighted her engagement with higher education leaders: “Great to meet with @WestVirginiaU President Michael Benson this week. So many great things happening at WVU and I’m grateful to have the opportunity to support them in their growth and success.” This meeting reflects her ongoing commitment to supporting local institutions.
Later that same day, Capito addressed federal funding allocations: “Proud to have secured CDS allocations that will deliver targeted investments across West Virginia to help our communities grow. DETAILS: https://t.co/0rdcTlauyt”
