US ELECTION DASHBOARD
Preparing public records and geographic context.
STATE PROFILE · WV
Who represents West Virginia in the federal government, who governs it at home, and what is on its 2026 ballot. Officeholders come from imported public source records.
01 · IN WASHINGTON
Members of the U.S. Congress elected from West Virginia. The President and Vice President serve the nation as a whole and do not represent an individual state in Congress.
Choosing a state identifies its two senators and its whole House delegation. Which representative serves a particular resident depends on their congressional district; the district map or the state election office can identify it.
02 · IN THE STATE CAPITAL
West Virginia's own executive and legislature. State senators and representatives serve in the state legislature, not in the U.S. Congress.

Governor of West Virginia · in office since January 13, 2025
