Patrick Morrisey (Republican Party) is the Attorney General of West Virginia. He assumed office on January 14, 2013. His current term ends on January 13, 2025.
Morrisey (Republican Party) is running for election for Governor of West Virginia. He is on the ballot in the Republican primary on May 14, 2024.[source]
In his campaign for governor, Morrisey ran on his work as attorney general: "I’m the only proven conservative running with a record of taking on the far left, the political elites and anyone else who threatens our way of life. And we win."[1] [2]
Morrisey was born in New York and grew up in Edison, New Jersey.[3] Morrisey earned a B.A. in history and political science from Rutgers College and a J.D. from Rutgers Law School-Newark.[4] From 1999 to 2004, Morrisey worked as the staff director and chief healthcare counsel to the House of Representatives Energy and Commerce Committee. He ran for Congress in 2000 and lost in the Republican primary in New Jersey's 7th Congressional District. Morrisey worked as a lawyer and lobbyist in Washington D.C. from 2004 to 2012.[5] In 2006, he moved to Jefferson County, West Virginia.[6]
In 2012, Morrisey ran for Attorney General of West Virginia, defeating five-term incumbent Darrell McGraw (D) 51.2%-48.8% to become the first Republican to hold the office since 1933.[7] Morrisey's margin of victory expanded with each election he won, growing from 2.4% in 2012 to 27.6% in 2020.
Morrisey ran for U.S. Senate in 2018 while serving as attorney general. He won the Republican primary with 34.9% of the vote, defeating Evan Jenkins, Don Blankenship, and three other opponents, but lost to incumbent Joe Manchin III (D) 49.6%-46.3% in the general election.
As attorney general, Morrisey filed an amicus brief in 2021 on behalf of West Virginia and 20 other states challenging the authority of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency. The case concerned the EPA's wetland regulatory jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act. In a unanimous decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against the EPA, limiting the agency's jurisdiction.[8] Morrisey said, “Today is a big day for farmers, homebuilders, contractors, property owners and those who care about economic activity not being subject to overreach by the federal government."[9]
Morrisey brought litigation against several national pharmacy chains, alleging they played a role in the opioid crisis, eventually settling for a total of more than $1 billion. Morrisey argued against restrictions on a right to own firearms and challenged the legality of the Affordable Care Act.[1]
Biography
Formerly employed at corporate law firm Sidley Austin, Morrisey moved to the Washington, D.C. office of global law firm King & Spalding in 2010. As partner, his practice areas were primarily in healthcare and regulatory policy.[10]
During his legal career, Morrisey gained experience working in administrative law, election law, public policy, and several criminal defense matters. Between most of 1999 to 2004, Morrisey served as the deputy staff director and chief healthcare counsel to the House of Representatives Energy and Commerce Committee. In that capacity, Morrisey helped draft and negotiate legislation, including the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 and the Bioterrorism and Public Health Preparedness Act of 2002. Morrisey was the principal liaison for the Committee on healthcare issues to the White House, the U.S. Senate, the House of Representatives, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Morrisey has written a regular column for the Spirit of Jefferson newspaper and volunteered for the Potomac Street Project, an effort to rebuild part of downtown Harpers Ferry. He became a member of the Eastern Panhandle Business Association and served on the Jefferson County Republican Executive Committee.
Originally from New Jersey, Morrisey earned a B.A. in history and political science from Rutgers College in 1989 and a J.D. from Rutgers Law School-Newark, in 1992.[4]

2024 battleground election
Ballotpedia identified the May 14 Republican primary as a battleground race. The summary below is from our coverage of this election, found here.
Moore Capito, Patrick Morrisey, Chris Miller, and Mac Warner are running in the Republican primary election for Governor of West Virginia on May 14, 2024.
Capito, Miller, and Morrisey each say they are the race's most conservative candidate, while Warner says the race is not about being the most conservative.[11]
All four candidates have aligned their campaign platforms with former president Donald Trump (R). Morrisey and Warner say they support America First policies, a term often associated with Trump and candidates who say they support Trump’s agenda.[12][13] Miller describes himself as a Trump conservative and the most successful fundraiser for Trump in West Virginia.[14] Capito says he would work with Trump on energy independence and wants Trump to receive the most votes of any presidential candidate in West Virginia's history.[13][15]
During a debate in February, all four candidates said they support reducing the state's income tax, increasing teachers' salaries, implementing the death penalty for fentanyl traffickers, and restricting abortions.[16]
Capito says he helped write one of the most conservative abortion laws in the country, referring to the state's 2022 statewide abortion ban law. Capito says his work in the West Virginia House of Delegates proves he is the "get-it-done candidate" and that it is important for West Virginia to achieve energy independence.[13][17]
Morrisey says he has a record of achieving conservative policies as West Virginia's attorney general. Morrisey says he supports growing West Virginia's economy, creating a broad school choice policy, and increasing workforce participation.[13]
Miller said, "We have to run state government more like a business, and we have to audit every single dime the government spends." He says the governor's office should not be connected to lobbyists or special interest groups, and "woke-ism is a mind virus that needs to be removed from West Virginia's school system."[13]
Warner says his experience serving in the military and as West Virginia's secretary of state will help him lead as governor.[13] Warner says he will work to grow the economy, lower regulations on coal and energy production, support law enforcement, fight the opioid addiction crisis, and defend gun ownership.

Morrisey's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Fighting Substance Abuse
“Morrisey, who has taken a leadership role in the battle against substance abuse in West Virginia, is taking to the national stage to battle the problem.” (7/22/17)
“no state official has been more effective in the struggle against drug abuse” (10/15/16) In July, Attorney General Morrisey received widespread praise for forcing the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to change its opioid distribution quota rules: Weirton Daily Times Editorial: "Good for Morrisey... The attorney general deserves enormous credit." Martinsburg Journal News Editorial: "Thank Morrisey for prompting action the DEA should’ve taken in the first place." The Dominion Post: "DEA changes policy after Morrisey sues" Morrisey also significantly ramped up the state’s educational efforts to fight substance abuse, holding hundreds of seminars and public meetings to educate kids, community leaders, and seniors. He also formed the state’s first partnership between the U.S. Attorney’s office and the Attorney General’s to assist in the criminal prosectution of drug dealers. As U.S. Senator, Morrisey will work with local, state, and federal authorities to better coordinate law enforcement efforts between these groups. He will continue to promote cost-effective treatment options for patients and press for tougher sentences for drug kingpins and he will continue tackling the problem holistically in the U.S. Senate, from a supply, demand, and educational perspective. Morrisey understands the drug epidemic touches the lives of all West Virginians, and we must do more for those who need the treatment to get better in the head and in the heart, so all can live full and purpose-filled lives. Jobs and Economy As a result of President Trump’s tax cuts, West Virginia families are seeing more money in their pockets, unemployment rates continue to drop, and many hardworking West Virginians are receiving bonuses and pay raises. Not only has President Trump delivered for West Virginia taxpayers, West Virginia job creators are increasingly able to compete again on the global stage due to lower tax rates. Many have begun giving out bonuses and increased benefits to employees as a result of the Trump tax cuts. Morrisey believes that more must be done to protect the tax cuts, as Washington liberals have pledged to repeal the tax cuts. He knows we must also continue to simplify the tax code, and make tax cuts for individuals permanent. Unfortunately, Sen. Manchin voted no when President Trump and West Virginians asked him to cut taxes. Instead of helping President Trump, Joe Manchin sided with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer in opposing tax cuts for the American people. Burdensome Regulations West Virginia is still suffering from President Obama’s reckless regulatory policies and executive actions. Congress can help undo some of the damage by permanently repealing Obama’s onerous regulations. President Trump has cut more regulations in this short amount of time than even Ronald Reagan, which has helped many West Virginia job creators compete again. There’s more work to be done on rolling back Obama’s burdensome regulations and many liberals in Washington want to stop the efforts of President Trump. Attorney General Patrick Morrisey led the charge against many of Obama’s excessive and unconstitutional regulations. Morrisey’s efforts have been essential in protecting West Virginia jobs from the attacks of the federal government. Infrastructure Morrisey believes West Virginia must continue to invest in its infrastructure to meet the needs of its citizens and businesses. For West Virginia to reach its potential, it must improve its roads, bridges, dams, and high-speed internet capacity. As Attorney General, Morrisey reached a record-breaking settlement with Frontier Communications that required the company to invest $150 million into the state’s high-speed internet infrastructure. As U.S. Senator, he will promote the state and encourage new private sector companies to locate here. Fiscal Responsibility Growing up in a working-class family gave Morrisey an appreciation for how to stretch a dollar. As Attorney General, he has worked to protect taxpayer dollars, voluntarily returning over $40 million to the state general fund and state agencies. In 2016, Morrisey initiated the first-ever disability fraud unit in the Attorney General’s office, saving taxpayers over $11 million in alittle over two years. As U.S. Senator, Morrisey will work to promote additional federal-state partnerships to combat fraud, waste, and abuse. With the country’s debt spiraling out of control under President Obama, Morrisey wants to permanently curb Washington’s appetite for spending. Morrisey supports a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to force Washington to balance its books just like West Virginia families do every day. Second Amendment Sen. Manchin’s failed record on the Second Amendment Manchin authored Obama's aggressive gun grab legislation, opposed constitutional carry in West Virginia, and sought to restrict and criminalize the private transfers of firearms between honest citizens. Joe Manchin has been no friend of the Second Amendment and West Virginia gun owners. Radical gun-control liberals like Hillary Clinton and Michael Bloomberg have spent millions of dollars supporting Manchin. Manchin has also expressed concerns about the Constitutional right to due process and has made derogatory remarks about NRA members. While West Virginia stood with a pro-Second Amendment leader like Donald Trump, Joe Manchin stood with the most anti-gun presidential candidates in American History, Hillary Clinton. The choice could not be more clear when it comes to West Virginians’ God-given right to protect themselves and their families. Far too often, Sen. Manchin has stood with the radical coastal elites who want to take away guns from law-abiding citizens. Meanwhile, Attorney General Patrick Morrisey has led the charge to protect the Constitutional rights of West Virginians. Right to Life Patrick is 100 percent pro-life and has been endorsed by West Virginians for Life and the National Right To Life. Patrick helped lead the effort to pass the Pain-Capable law in West Virginia, and has called for the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Patrick has opposed all taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood and was a leader in standing for religious liberty in the Hobby Lobby decision. Meanwhile, liberal Joe Manchin continues to vote to fund Planned Parenthood, has opposed pro-life judges, and voted for Hillary Clinton and her pro-abortion agenda. Energy National Security It is Morrisey’s fundamental belief that the United States has a deeply rooted moral responsibility to defend Israel’s right to exist. He will do everything in his power to defend the interest of our nations’ essential alliance. Illegal Immigration That is why Morrisey successfully filed suit against the Obama amnesty program and opposes sanctuary cities. Morrisey recently led a 10-state effort in support of President Trump’s anti-sanctuary city policy. Morrisey believes we need a comprehensive plan to tackle illegal immigration and protect our country, including more aggressive efforts to track the flow of visitors into our country; building a wall; establishing more thorough vetting of security risks, and pushing greater coordination between law enforcement agencies. Constitutional Conservative Values The U. S. Senate needs another constitutional conservative with the courage to defend the people’s rights against an expansive federal government. In the U. S. Senate, Morrisey will continue to ensure that no one – including the federal government – runs roughshod over West Virginia. Morrisey is a staunch advocate for religious freedom and was one of several Attorneys General to join the legal efforts supporting Hobby Lobby. Morrisey supports the nomination of conservative judges who will protect our constitutional rights and not legislate from the bench. Veterans Patrick Morrisey believes our Veterans and their families deserve the absolute best health care and benefits. The promises made to our Veterans must be kept, and Patrick is committed to standing up for the men and women who have served our country. Fighting for Our Seniors During his tenure as Attorney General, Morrisey stood strong for seniors, working to protect them from scams and consumer fraud. As U.S. Senator, Patrick Morrisey will look out for seniors and veterans and target government resources to those who need it most – this includes the many low-income West Virginians on fixed incomes who cannot afford changes to their retirement plans when they are enjoying their golden years.
