Get ready, Wheeling!
There was a Riley Moore sighting in Wheeling earlier today which means a front-page placement in Friday's and/or Saturday's paper
Yes, Riley Moore, grandson of former West Virginia governor and convicted felon, Arch Moore, and nephew of West Virginia senator and major Trump supporter, Shelley Moore Capito was in Wheeling today to promote his candidacy for state treasurer. Given his status as Ogden favorite and the number of local Ogden articles that have already showcased him, his visit should warrant front-page coverage. The article will likely feature:
• His supposed ties to the working class
• That his first job was as a welder
• His plan for workers – the “Jumpstart Savings Plan”
• That his grandfather was former WV governor Arch Moore and his aunt is WV senator Shelley Moore Capito
The article will likely not feature any of the following:
• That he was a lobbyist for the Ukraine and vice president for a company headed by convicted-felon Paul Manafort (yes, that Manafort)
• That he was connected in 2018 to a dark money PAC (1863 PAC)
• That despite being the incumbent, he lost his last election 2018 by 12%
