## Resource

West Virginia’s primary election is officially complete, with all counties certified — but the real story’s in voter turnout, set to be fully reported later this summer. Meanwhile, 500 students from across the state gathered in Charleston for Boys and Girls State, diving into the future of West Virginia and showing the next generation stepping up. In a touching tribute, the Richwood community grieves the loss of Greg James, a beloved 50-year band director whose legacy echoes through Nicholas County. On the national stage, Senator Capito pushes for a permanent intelligence chief amid a heated debate over surveillance laws — Democrats won’t budge unless the acting director is replaced. It’s a state and nation grappling with elections, youth, grief, and policy — all unfolding right now. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
