In Case You Missed It: Capito Secures West Virginia Priorities in Committee-Passed Labor-H Funding Bill

Press Release

“As the top Republican on Labor-HHS Appropriations Subcommittee, I am proud that Chair Baldwin and I were able to once again craft an effective bill that maintains provisions that are critical to the departments our subcommittee oversees, and does not include any new controversial riders. Additionally, this bill continues our bipartisan record from last year by including a number of priorities from both sides of the aisle like, investments in America’s biomedical research, child care, mental health, workforce, biodefense, our efforts to combat the opioid epidemic, and more. Advocating for issues that are important to West Virginia is always top of mind, which is why I vowed to do just that as the ranking member of this subcommittee. I am pleased that this bill reflects many of those priorities that will help West Virginians from all corners of our state."
