Governor Morrisey was in Wheeling today to introduce West Virginia’s next Secretary of Tourism, Kayla Kessinger. Kayla describes her role as that of an ambassador, “to encourage people to see the mountains, raft the rivers, hike the trails, and discover the people who make the State special.” We wish Kayla well in her new role.
