Larry Pack (born November 9, 1957) is an American politician, accountant, and businessman who is currently serving as the 26th Treasurer of West Virginia since 2025. He was elected to the position unopposed in 2024, and was appointed to the position by Governor Jim Justice after his predecessor, Riley Moore, resigned to become a United States representative.[1] As a Republican, he has served as West Virginia's acting Secretary of Revenue from December 2023 until his appointment as Treasurer. He was elected as a member of the West Virginia House of Delegates as a Republican in 2020 and served until his resignation in 2022. After his resignation, Pack worked as a senior advisor to Jim Justice until his appointment as Revenue Secretary.

Early life and education

[edit]

Pack was born and raised in Charleston, West Virginia. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting from the West Virginia University Institute of Technology.[2]

Career

[edit]

From 1979 to 1991, Pack worked as a Certified Public Accountant at Herman & Company. From 1991 to 2009, he was the co-founder and partner of Pack Lambert & Burdette. Since 2009, he has been the CEO of Stonerise, a healthcare company. He also worked as secretary of the West Virginia Healthcare Association.[3] In 2017, Pack was elected as West Virginia's committeeman to the Republican National Committee.[4] Pack was elected to the West Virginia House of Delegates in November 2020 and assumed office on December 1, 2020.[5]

With Chad Lovejoy, Pack managed a bipartisan workgroup aimed at reducing hunger in West Virginia.[6]

In 2022, Pack resigned from the House of Delegates to join the Justice administration as a senior advisor.[7] In late 2023, Justice appointed him as acting Revenue Secretary.[8]

In 2023, Pack announced his candidacy for Treasurer of West Virginia after incumbent Treasurer Riley Moore chose to run for Congress. Pack won the election unopposed, and was appointed to the position by Governor Jim Justice 10 days early as a result of Moore becoming a U.S. Representative.
