Dear friends,

It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve West Virginia as your United States Senator. As a lifelong native, I know the diligence and determination of the Mountain State, and I am proud to fight every day to ensure your voice is heard loud and clear in Washington.

Today, I am officially announcing my candidacy for reelection to the U.S. Senate in 2026!

I'm confident we can deliver even more success for West Virginia. With President Trump's endorsement, I am committed to continuing our work together on America First policies that strengthen our country and state.

Since I first came to the U.S. Senate, we have made significant strides:

• Strengthening our economy and lowering taxes
• Securing our borders
• Unleashing American energy dominance
• Protecting our conservative values and freedoms
  

I have risen to the fourth-highest position in Senate Republican leadership, and through my work on the Appropriations and Environment and Public Works Committees, I am better positioned than ever to deliver vital resources for our state, our people, and our communities.

Every decision I make is steered by the concerns I hear from you, my constituents. I ask for your support once again—not just for my campaign, but for the important work we can do together to build the future West Virginians deserve.

Watch my full announcement in the video here or below:

I look forward to earning your vote and continuing our fight in the U.S. Senate.

Thank you, 

Shelley Moore Capito, U.S. Senator
