GOP Candidates In West Virginia Are Competing Over Who Is More AntiTrans
"Republican candidates for governor in West Virginia have been competing in a tight race — not only to take over the state’s highest office but also to surpass one another in their commitment to attacking LGBTQ+ rights, in particular, for transgender people.
State Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, former state Delegate Moore Capito and businessman Chris Miller have each run a series of ads promising to take stronger action to keep transgender student athletes, particularly transgender girls, out of girl’s and women’s sports and to further restrict access to gender-affirming care for minors. (Another Republican contender, West Virginia Secretary of State Mac Warner, has stayed out of the attack ad fray.)
Morrisey is leading the race with 28% of GOP voter support, followed by Capito with 25%, according to a recent survey conducted by Emerson Polling and The Hill. Miller and Warner are trailing at 19% and 12%, respectively. As of last month, almost $14 million had been spent on ads for these candidates, the bulk of which has gone toward supporting Morrisey, according to an analysis of West Virginia political advertising from AdImpact Politics."
