About the Governor

gov elect morrissey

Patrick James Morrisey is the 37th governor of West Virginia. Morrisey took office on January 13, 2025. He campaigned across all 55 counties during his bid for governor, running to make West Virginia once again the shining state in the mountains.

Before being elected governor, Morrisey served as West Virginia’s Attorney General since 2012. As Attorney General, Morrisey delivered some of the nation’s most significant legal victories to defend West Virginia. He prevailed in West Virginia v. EPA, which has been declared one of the most pivotal U.S. Supreme Court wins in decades.

Morrisey championed major legal wins protecting West Virginians' constitutional rights, delivering record-setting settlements against drug companies, and preserving the West Virginia way of life.  Morrisey has also fought to protect the unborn, preserve Second Amendment rights, and defend girls’ sports.
