WVFL’s Program Director Mary Anne Buchanan, President Wanda Franz and Graphic Designer Cheryl Carr with election winner 1st District U.S. Representative David McKinley on election night

It was truly an historic election as Donald Trump did the impossible in an upset victory over extreme pro-abortion candidate Hillary Clinton. Many pro-life victories occurred here in West Virginia. All three congressional incumbents retained their seats. In the 1^st Congressional District, David McKinley defeated his opponent by a margin of 69-31%. Alex Mooney won in the 2^nd Congressional District by 39,602 votes and in the 3^rd Congressional District, Evan Jenkins won a second term by 45 percentage points. This completed a pro-life sweep of the entire slate of federal candidates, all of whom were endorsed by West Virginians for Life Political Action Committee (WVL-PAC).

In the six statewide races, the WVL-PAC enjoyed an 83% success rate. Patrick Morrisey won re-election to the Attorney General office ensuring that pro-life legislation will be defended if challenged. Mac Warner upset pro-abortion incumbent Natalie Tennant by a margin of 49-47% for Secretary of State. John McCuskey will be the new State Auditor.
