WEST VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE
August 8, 2022
Dear Speaker Hanshaw,
Serving Kanawha County in the West Virginia House of Delegates and participating in the monumental progress happening throughout the state has been the greatest blessing.
Throughout my life, I have always searched for the best possible way to serve my faith and my state to my highest purpose. Creating economic growth has always been my passion, and being asked to continue on that mission while supporting Governor Justice during this unprecedented era of success and prosperity in the state is the honor of a lifetime.
On a personal note, your steady, level-headed leadership throughout challenging times must be commended. Your open-door policy and collaborative process in deliberate decision-making to always do what’s best for the state’s long-term interests should be credited for much of what we have to celebrate in West Virginia today.
I hereby resign as a member of the West Virginia House of Delegates, effective immediately. I deeply appreciate the voters who gave me the honor of representing them in the House of Delegates, and I will continue to work toward improving our state in every possible way.
Sincerely,
Delegate Larry Pack
