NAPLES, FL—The Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA) applauds the West Virginia Legislature for a landmark session defined by bold leadership and commitment to the people it serves.

- SB 490: Banning ranked choice voting
- HB 3016: Requiring photo ID to vote
Kicking off the MAHA Movement

Supporting Businesses and Economic Growth

- HB 2451: Permitting home-based business creation
Pushing Back on DEI
- SB 474: Banning state DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) initiatives
“West Virginia policymakers should be proud of their strong, commonsense leadership this session,” said Emma Garelick, State Government Affairs Director at FGA. “From protecting the integrity of elections to supporting businesses and pushing back on radical DEI policies, these are wins that will deliver real results for the Mountain State.”
“These reforms aren’t just smart policy—they embody the values of hardworking West Virginians who are fed up with the same broken systems,” continued Garelick. “Governor Morrisey and the West Virginia Legislature have demonstrated a clear commitment to addressing the real needs of the people they represent.”
