Moore Announces He Will Run For Governor
Former WV Governor Arch Moore Jr. ends months of speculation by announcing a bid for governor rather than challenging for the Senate. The Glen Dale lawyer and six term congressman-turned-governor seeks the GOP nomination in a crowded field as national GOP and President Reagan pressure him toward the Senate. Moore cites West Virginia representation issues and notes heavy support from supporters while facing a field that includes Richard Lindsay and several Democrats seeking the governor’s race.
