With 92% of ballots counted, Morrisey led with 33% of the vote. <\/p>\n<p>Morrisey narrowly defeated his closest competition, former State Rep. Moore Capito, who received 27.8% support. The field also included businessman Chris Miller, who received 20.4% support and State Secretary of State Mac Warner, who received 16.1% of the vote. The race included two lesser-known candidates, Kevin Christian and Mitch Roberts, who both received 1.4% in the race.<\/p>\n<p>Morrisey has been known for mounting legal challenges against the Obama and Biden administrations on environmental regulations and more.

He serves as chair of the West Virginia Legislature\u2019s House Judiciary Committee.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the candidates running have ties to West Virginia politics. Morrisey ran against outgoing Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) in 2018 whereas Capito\u2019s mother is Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), and Miller\u2019s mother is current Rep.
