Shelley Moore Capito helped lead West Virginia's shift to the right, from the House of Delegates in 1996 to Congress in 2000 and the U.S. Senate in 2014. Now seeking a third Senate term, Capito talks about her leadership on the Environment and Public Works Committee, her permitting reform bill, and the bipartisan lessons she learned from her father.
Business and labor leaders explain why they back her, from infrastructure funding to restoring health care and pension benefits for retired coal miners.
