I\u2019m proud of what we\u2019ve accomplished together to expand opportunity, strengthen our infrastructure, and grow our economy, but there is still more work to do. West Virginia\u2019s future depends on our ability to create a pro-business, pro-growth environment where communities and employers can thrive, where our leaders listen to the people of our state on the issues that matter most to them. Gatherings like this summit bring the right people to the table with the shared belief of keeping the state moving forward, and I\u2019m encouraged by the direction our state is heading,\u201d Senator Capito said.\n\nPhotos from this year\u2019s meetings and business summit can be found below:\n\nU.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) addresses the West Virginia Manufacturers Association\u2019s Chemical Industry Council meeting in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. on Wednesday, September 2, 2026.\n\nU.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) participates in a fireside chat with the Nature Conservancy in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. on Wednesday, September 2, 2026.\n\nU.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) delivers remarks at the 12th annual Friends of \u201cDiscover the Real West Virginia\u201d (DRWV) reception in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. on Wednesday, September 2, 2026.\n\nU.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) addresses the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce\u2019s 90thAnnual Meeting and Business Summit in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. on Thursday, September 3, 2026.\n\n# # #", 1, "2026-09-04T09:19:37Z", "2026-09-04T09:20:58Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.capito.senate.gov/news/press-releases/capito-participates-in-west-virginia-chamber-of-commerces-90th-annual-business-summit"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.528784167021513, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
