Advisory: Vice President Mike Pence to Visit West Virginia

On Saturday, August 15th, the Vice President will travel to White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. There, the Vice President will meet with Governor Jim Justice on efforts to combat COVID-19 and safely reopening West Virginia. Before the pandemic, the Trump administration's pro-growth policies created economic growth that led to a 4.7% unemployment rate in the state. As West Virginia continues to safely reopen, unemployment has dropped from 15.9% in April to 10.4% and recovered over 47,000 jobs. Later that evening, the Vice President will return to Washington, D.C.
