Castillo in West Huntington to celebrate nearly $63 million in U.S. Economic Development Administration funding for southern West Virginia. The ACT Now Coalition, led by Coalfield Development Corporation, will create an estimated 5,000 direct jobs through 8 projects in 21 counties – a huge win for all of West Virginia!

I stopped by the City of Huntington Fire Department to thank firefighters for giving 104 smoke alarms to the pediatric unit at Marshall Health. Smoke alarms save lives, and I encourage all West Virginians to regularly test the alarms in your home. I also had the opportunity to thank firefighters in training for their commitment to making a difference and protecting the Huntington community!

Mr. Finkel contacted my office asking for assistance obtaining green cards for his family. As a result of an inquiry from my staff, he and his family are happily residing in the United States today.
