WEST VIRGINIA (AP) — Riley Moore, the nephew of U.S. Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, is one step closer to joining her in Congress.
The current state treasurer won the Republican nomination for U.S. House in West Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District, according to the Associated Press.
Riley Moore defeated Joe Early, Chris “Mookie” Walker, Dennis “Nate” Cain and Alexander Gaaserud.
