A Kanawha County lawmaker will be joining West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice’s administration as a senior adviser.
Larry Pack, a Republican member of the West Virginia House of Delegates in District 35 representing Kanawha County, will resign from his legislative role and work for the administration, according to a news release Monday from the Governor’s Office.
“I am excited to start in this role, supporting Governor Justice as he continues to build on an unprecedented era of success and prosperity in West Virginia,” Pack said.
Justice said Pack “will bring a wealth of wisdom to my administration from his decades of private sector experience.”
Pack was first elected to the House representing District 35 in 2020. He will also file the appropriate paperwork with the West Virginia Secretary of State’s office to withdraw his candidacy for House District 56.
A lifelong West Virginian, he recently sold Stonerise, a network of 17 transitional and skilled nursing care centers, therapy, home health, and hospice care providers across West Virginia and southeast Ohio.
Prior to Stonerise, Pack owned and operated six other health care centers throughout West Virginia. He co-founded the accounting firm Pack Lambert & Burdette, which later merged with Suttle and Stalnaker, where he provided tax, accounting and consulting services to various entities.
Pack lives in Charleston with his wife, Lisa. They have been blessed with six children and two grandchildren.
