CHARLESTON W.Va. (WVDN) – Governor and U.S. Senator-Elect Jim Justice issued the following statement regarding reports about Babydog’s absence in Washington, D.C., today.
“Today, a Senator-Elect was asking about the rules regarding children on the floor of the U.S. Senate. Senator-Elect Bernie Moreno jokingly asked about dogs and mentioned Babydog in jest. I told them they do not have to worry about Babydog on the Senate floor. I knew and was aware, in fact I said it during the campaign, that Babydog cannot be on the floor of the U.S. Senate. Babydog will be with me frequently in Washington, and we welcome everyone to come by my office and say hello and meet Babydog when she is there. Just like she has loved and made so many people smile in West Virginia, she will do that in Washington too.” – Governor and U.S. Senator-Elect Jim Justice
