The resolution urges the Governor of West Virginia and the state's federal representatives to take action to prevent job losses among the more than 17,000 federal employees residing in the state. It highlights the disproportionate impact that federal job cuts would have on West Virginia's economy, particularly given its small population and low workforce participation. The resolution points to recent job losses in Parkersburg, where 200 to 250 workers were affected by actions from the Department of Government Efficiency, and emphasizes the potential for further layoffs that could severely impact local communities and the state's fiscal stability.

The House of Delegates expresses the importance of preserving high-paying, high-benefit federal jobs, particularly in light of the economic challenges that layoffs would create for employees, their families, and local businesses. It criticizes the rationale behind these job cuts, suggesting they are motivated by a desire to justify tax cuts for billionaires rather than genuine efforts to combat fraud and inefficiency. The resolution concludes by directing the Clerk of the House to send copies to the Governor and West Virginia's federally elected representatives, urging them to advocate for the retention of these vital jobs.
