Buckhannon, W.Va. (WVDN) – Senator Bill Hamilton (R-Upshur) has officially filed to seek re-election to the State Senate, District 11 which covers Barbour, Braxton, Pendleton, Pocahontas, Randolph, Upshur and Webster counties.
“I am so proud of all we have accomplished to include the largest tax cut in state history, funding infrastructure, broadband expansion, voting for the Promise Scholarship and boosting our support of tourism,” said Hamilton, “But we can’t quit now – we still have a ways to go to get our local businesses and families connected to internet, miles of road that need improvements and our State Senate must return to commonsense, conservative governing.”
Hamilton was first elected to the House of Delegates and then won election to the State Senate. Geographically, it is the largest legislative district east of the Mississippi River.
“We cover a lot of ground in the 11th district,” said Hamilton, “but we have some of the best West Virginia has to offer from our year-round outdoor adventure to what industry demands now in order to locate and grow their jobs. My commitment remains as it has always been to support our local resources and support job creators in their location and expansion to our area.”
Hamilton serves as Chairman of the Senate Natural Resources Committee and is Chairman of the Senate Forest Management Review Committee and also serves on the Senate Agriculture, Economic Development, Finance, Government Organization, Pensions, and Workforce committees.
