Senate President Pro Tempore Donna J. Boley Resigns from West Virginia Senate

Senate President Randy E. Smith, R-Preston, issued the following statement today regarding Senator Boley's retirement:

“It’s hard to find the words to honor a person like Senator Donna Boley. For more than 40 years, she chose to serve the people of West Virginia with a dedication and energy that few could ever match. She stood as a strong conservative voice in the Senate, even when she was the only conservative voice. Her institutional knowledge and her ability to work with all people – no matter their politics – is an inspiration to us all. She’s truly one of a kind. I’m blessed to not only call her my fellow Senator, but my friend. We will miss her every day, but I am so happy to know my friend Donna will be enjoying her retirement surrounded by her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren she loves so much.”
