Welcome, Kasey!
Hi, I’m Kasey Russell, your new WVEC lobbyist! I am very excited to represent our partner groups and members at the State Capitol at monthly intermins and the regular session. I’m originally from Atlanta, GA, and attended forestry school at the University of Georgia in Athens. I moved to Morgantown in 1996 (my first husband went to West Virginia University's law school) and then to Charleston in 1999. I fell in love with the state and happily raised two kids (now 25 and 22) in Charleston. More
