EXCLUSIVE \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>The mystery surrounding which office West Virginia<\/a> Attorney General Patrick Morrisey will seek in 2024 is over.<\/p>\n

Morrisey, a Republican who\u2019s in his third term as the state’s top prosecutor, on Tuesday will announce a run for governor<\/a> at a campaign event in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, Fox News has learned.<\/p>\n

“Today, I come before you with a clear purpose, and a conservative record that\u2019s second to none. I am seeking the Republican nomination for governor of West Virginia,” Morrisey will say, according to excerpts of his prepared speech obtained by Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

MORRISEY TO MAKE \u2018IMPORTANT\u2019 ANNOUNCEMENT IN WEST VIRGINIA<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“I\u2019m the only proven conservative in this race with a deep record of fighting and defeating the swamp and the political elites, successfully defending our West Virginia values, and accomplishing the big things West Virginians care about,” Morrisey will say in his remarks.<\/p>\n

Morrisey for months had been “seriously evaluating” between a gubernatorial run in the race to succeed term-limited GOP Gov. Jim Justice, or a second bid for Senate. Morrisey narrowly lost the state\u2019s 2018 Senate election to incumbent Sen. Joe Manchin,<\/a> a former governor.<\/p>\n

Manchin, a moderate Democrat who is often at loggerheads with his party\u2019s progressive wing and at times with the party\u2019s Senate leadership and the White House, has yet to announce whether he will see another six-year term in the Senate next year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Democratic-held seat is being heavily targeted by Republicans as they aim to retake the chamber\u2019s majority in 2024. Republican Rep. Alex Mooney is already in the race and Justice, a former Democrat who switched to the Republican Party in 2017, is expected to launch a Senate campaign in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

MOORE CAPITO JUMPS INTO WEST VIRGINIA GUBERNATORIAL RACE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Morrisey joins a crowded field of Republicans running for governor. Declared candidates include state lawmaker Moore Capito, who\u2019s the son of Sen. Shelley Moore Capito and grandson of former Gov. Arch Moore, West Virginia state auditor J.B. McCuskey, West Virginia Secretary of State Mac Warner, and Chris Miller, an automobile dealer and son of Rep. Carol Miller.<\/p>\n

“As governor, I\u2019ll protect our jobs, fight to put more money in your pockets, advance educational excellence, supercharge economic and workforce growth, and defend families from the ravages of drugs and the woke, anti-freedom forces facing us,” Morrisey will say Tuesday. “Whether we are battling against the swamps of DC or Charleston, I\u2019ll have your back and will uphold our shared conservative values.”<\/p>\n

The eventual GOP gubernatorial nominee will be considered the favorite in next year\u2019s gubernatorial election in West Virginia, a once reliably Democratic state that has shifted overwhelmingly red in recent cycles.<\/p>\n

Morrisey, a New Jersey native, worked as a corporate lawyer and lobbyist in the nation\u2019s capital before moving in 2006 to Jefferson County, in West Virginia\u2019s eastern panhandle. And Morrisey is announcing his gubernatorial run in Harpers Ferry, a historic town in Jefferson County and the state\u2019s easternmost town.<\/p>\n

In his tenure as attorney general, Morrisey has become known nationally as a leader in the fight against what conservatives say is federal overreach. He spearheaded a major victory in the Supreme Court case between West Virginia and the EPA that limited federal regulations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
