As America nears its 250th birthday, the national debt is approaching $40T & interest alone now costs taxpayers $1.22T a year. West Virginia Treasurer Larry Pack is right: Washington’s spending addiction is unsustainable. Time to cut spending, restore fiscal responsibility, & put taxpayers first. 🇺🇸 Read more from @WVTreasury 👇 wvtreasury.gov/About/Press-R…

For the record, HB 5182 was about keeping employees safe. The WV Treasury is a bank. We deal with confiscated weapons, jewelry and billions of dollars. Former state troopers on staff asked for the bill. We listened to that staff. Saying otherwise is not accurate.

Our Office works year-round to help local law enforcement agencies receive unclaimed property money through firearms auctions. Treasurer Pack got to stop by one of our pickups today in Charleston with more than 300 guns!
State Treasurer Larry Pack met with Charleston Police Chief Scott Dempsey during our Office’s firearms pickup today. The Treasurer’s Office is collecting used firearms from the Charleston PD evidence room to auction off this year which will then help return money to the police department.

Sad to hear this news. I filed some stories for @CBSNewsRadio when I worked for @KCBSRadio. It’s heartbreaking to see layoffs and such an important news medium dwindle. Radio will always hold a special place in my heart!
CBS News said Friday it is shutting down its storied radio news service after nearly 100 years of operation as part of a round of layoffs, citing a shift in radio station programming strategies and challenging economic times. apnews.com/article/cbs-radio…

On Tuesday, Treasurer Pack had the honor to help cut the ribbon for a mobile women's healthcare unit from Women's Care Center in Parkersburg. The unit will service rural areas with pregnancy testing and ultrasounds, focusing on life-affirming choices and providing pregnancy and parenting support.

Treasurer Pack is out with a new op-ed to support @RepRileyMoore and his federal Jumpstart Savings Act legislation. Last year, our Office transitioned Jumpstart from a basic savings account to a state tax-advantaged investment account through the WV Money Market Pool.
.@RepRileyMoore created the West Virginia Jumpstart Savings Program when he was our state Treasurer. The Jumpstart Savings Act will help Americans save tax-free for careers in the trades, skilled labor, and apprenticeship-based professions while strengthening the nation’s workforce as the United States rebuilds its manufacturing and industrial base.

Nearly 8,000 Hope families who have already submitted applications for next school year don’t even know what they’ve signed up for now that the Legislature is trying to put caps on the program. This is bad timing as we near open enrollment on March 2 for all school age children.
State Treasurer Larry Pack today released the following statement after the House Finance Committee considered legislation restricting the Hope Scholarship Program. Read the full statement here: buff.ly/zLhZpHV

Justin and I prayed for each other long before we ever met, trusting that God was writing a story far better than anything we could imagine. Now we stand in AWE of how beautifully He brought our lives together. We’re so excited to share that WE’RE ENGAGED!!! 💍🤍❄️

Honored to join today’s panel discussing how my time as West Virginia’s State Treasurer shaped my work in Congress — defending economic freedom, combatting ESG, and fighting for America First policies. As State Treasurer, I was the first to divest from BlackRock for pushing ESG policies. Now in Congress, I’m continuing that fight to stop rating agencies from weaponizing ESG policies to downgrade bond ratings. Thank you @SFOF_States for having me!
