Congressman Mooney met with Brenda Thompson, Administrative Assistant at E. A.

“I enjoyed my visits in Hardy County and in Pendleton County. Local stops at churches, libraries and local businesses and meetings with staff at local health centers are especially important now amid economic recovery from the coronavirus. It is great to meet directly with our healthcare workers who are on the frontlines daily ensuring the well-being and health of West Virginians. Their devotion has helped keep our communities safe and healthy throughout the coronavirus outbreak,” said Congressman Alex X. Mooney.
