Which governor served more terms than any other governor in West Virginia history?

Arch Moore served more terms than any other governor in West Virginia history, having been elected to office three separate times. His first term was from 1969 to 1971, followed by a second term from 1977 to 1981, and finally a third term from 1985 to 1989. This remarkable achievement allowed him significant influence over state policies and development during his years in office. The governor's ability to return for multiple terms underscores his political resilience and the support he garnered from West Virginia's electorate, as well as the impact he had on state governance. Other governors, such as Jim Justice, Cecil Underwood, and Richard L. Jones, although significant figures in West Virginia's history, did not match Arch Moore's record of continuous re-election to the gubernatorial seat.
