West Virginia is the only state with operational greyhound racing tracks and a bill before national lawmakers would stop the races from happening. The Mardi Gras Casino & Resort near Charleston and the Wheeling Island Hotel Casino Racetrack are the only two left in the country after an Iowa track closed in 2022. Representatives Alex Mooney (R-WV) and Carol Miller (R-WV) have each expressed that they believe the decision should be left to states to decide. Similar bills in the past have failed.
