On August 25, 2018 the following statements were issued on the announcement that Evan Jenkins was appointed Justice of the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals:

“Honest, ethical and hardworking are the first things that come to mind when I think of Evan Jenkins. He is an excellent choice to serve on our Supreme Court, and I have no doubt that as a justice he would be fair, impartial, and someone we can count on to uphold the Constitution. Evan and I have worked together to tackle many difficult issues over the years, and during that time, it’s been very clear how much he cares about the people of West Virginia and our great state.”

Shelley Moore Capito, United State Senator

“Excellent choice! I’ve known Evan for over 40 years and he’s just the leader we need on our state’s highest court to restore trust, transparency and accountability in this time of crisis. I’m the proud Mayor of our state’s second largest city and yes, I’m a Democrat supporting Evan who’s been a great Republican member of Congress. We need justices on the court who are fair, impartial and will make sure every person is treated equally under the law. I know that’s the kind of person Evan is and he will be a justice we can be proud of. Evan Jenkins has always been someone I could count on to diligently serve with honor and integrity.”

Mayor Steve Williams, City of Huntington

“Evan Jenkins is the right person to be on the Supreme Court at a time in our history when honesty and integrity are so crucial. I’ve worked with Evan for many years to see babies prenatally exposed to drugs get the quality of care they deserve. He has worked with us, even in tough times, to always do the right thing. As a Supreme Court Justice Evan will work hard for the most vulnerable and innocent to ensure the best possible chance for a healthy start in life.”

Sara Murray, RN, founder Lily’s Place

“Evan Jenkins on our state Supreme Court is music to my ears. In our darkest hours when our town was devastated in the June 2016 floods, Evan was there from day-one and has stood by us every step of the way in our effort to rebuild our community. Evan cares about the people and I know he has the best interest of our state at heart.”
