Primary race background
- Main article: West Virginia races we're watching, 2016
Moore Capito is the son of U.S. Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R) and grandson of former West Virginia Gov. Arch Moore (R). Capito's campaign website emphasized economic issues such as job creation and simplified taxes, among other issues. "We want to promote job creation in the private sector. To achieve this, we need to have a pro-growth strategy which includes cutting regulation and a tax structure that is simpler and less burdensome," Moore's website stated.[6]
Charlotte Lane is a former member of the state House of Delegates, a former commissioner of the West Virginia Public Service Commission, and a former commissioner of the U.S. International Trade Commission. She previously sought election to the U.S. House to represent the 2nd Congressional District. On her campaign website, Lane cited her experience on the public service commission on issues such as local infrastructure and water and sewer services. She also cited her experience as U.S. international trade commissioner in which she "stood up to China's unfair trade practices that cost West Virginia jobs here at home."[7]
