Tom Willis, a candidate for U.S. Senate from West Virginia, posted several messages on his Twitter account on May 6, 2026, addressing issues of constitutional standards in congressional mapping and calling for political change in the state.
In a tweet posted at 01:20 UTC, Willis expressed concerns about the application of constitutional principles in the redistricting process, stating: “Every American should be concerned when constitutional standards are ignored in congressional maps — because it affects all of us. The Constitution should apply equally in every state.”
Later that day at 11:28 UTC, Willis focused on the upcoming election and incumbent Senator Shelley Moore Capito’s tenure, writing: “6 days to retire a career politician. Shelley Moore Capito — nearly 30 years in Washington. 30 years is enough. She had her chance. Now it’s ours. West Virginia — this is your moment. The country is watching!
