83,880% of the West Virginia median

Median household income, West Virginia $59,608

James Conley Justice II, reported assets (low end) $50,000,001

This one owns the pond.

The income bar shows the median as a share of the larger of the two figures, with a 3px minimum width so it stays visible. The assets bar has its own scale, from $1 at the left to $20 million at the right, and follows the low end of the range. It fills completely when the top of the range is over $20 million. Its color, and the color of the percentage above, runs from green on the left to red on the right.

Reported assets are what the disclosure form lists, in value bands, before debts and not counting a primary home. The median is one year's household income. They measure different things.

Context only. The income figure never moves the pond.

Funding — not the pond

FEC money track · 2024–2026 cycle · never part of the pond

Did they take money from PACs that funded both Democrats and Republicans? Money never moves the pond.

Campaign — they cashed it

$255,750 TAKE (dual-party PAC)

Took at least $1,000 from PACs that fund both parties.

Context. Not the pond. Taking the check is not a flip. Flipping after the check, and staying quiet, is.

Own it — Dual-party PAC

Largest dual-party PACs on this file.

NATIONAL AUTOMOBILE DEALERS ASSOCIATION$10,000
ALTRIA GROUP INC.$10,000
CLEARWAY ENERGY INC PAC$10,000

Traditional PAC contributions to candidate committees only. A dual-party PAC gave at least $1,000 to both parties. AIPAC in this table is committee C00797670. Legal, disclosed, hard-capped. Super PACs and dark money are not in this number. Taking this money is common. The amount is the story. HippoCricket doesn't put this in the pond.
