Capito keeps even keel in rough campaign waters
In the final stretch before Election Day, Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito moves through a slack afternoon schedule in NITRO West Virginia. She visits a Total Distribution plant late, chats with second shift workers, bowls at Towne N Country Lanes, then strolls a Route 25 strip mall greeting shopkeepers. Capito jokes with Cookie Clendenin and husband Carl, noting Humphreys territory, and avoids overt campaign talk as she avoids saying vote reminders.
