Patrick Morrisey succeeded Justice as governor after serving three terms as Attorney General. J.B. McCuskey stepped into Morrisey’s former role as Attorney General after serving as State Auditor. Mark Hunt was elected as the new State Auditor, replacing McCuskey. Riley Moore became the U.S. representative for the 2nd Congressional District after one term as State Treasurer. Charles Trump was sworn in for a 12-year term on the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals. Larry Pack is the new State Treasurer, Kris Warner is the new Secretary of State, and Kent Leonhardt secured his third term as agriculture commissioner.
