CLARKSBURG, W.Va. — West Virginia Auditor J.B. McCuskey was sworn-in to his second term in front of the Harrison County Courthouse in Clarksburg Tuesday morning.
The oath of office was administered by U.S. District Judge Thomas Kleeh.
McCuskey, a Republican, was first elected to the statewide office in the November 2016 General Election. He won a second four-year term last November.
“As my second term begins, I will continue to serve the people of West Virginia to the very best of my ability,” McCuskey, a former member of the House of Delegates said in a statement. “I will keep advocating strongly for a government that remains transparent and listens to the taxpayers. We will go forward together as part of the greatest nation on Earth, knowing our willingness and ability to respect our differences will make us even stronger.”
McCuskey was joined by his wife and two daughters at Tuesday’s ceremony. He will take a ceremonial oath of office Friday as part of Gov. Jim Justice inauguration ceremony at the state capitol.
