As I told public school educators last night in Wheeling—stand tall, square your shoulders, hold your head high. We are West Virginians. Nobody is better than us and frankly, we can compete with anybody in the world. #education youtube.com/watch?v=nPY8kxeA…

Jim Justice: “If they decide they don’t want me for their senator? I’m OK with that.”
Never has a candidate wanted so badly to not be elected.
Do him a favor. Vote @ElliottForWV

.@JimJusticeWV has totally abdicated leadership on solving the PEIA crisis. And worse, he lied to teachers during the 2018 historic strike & every year thereafter when he said he would solve the PEIA funding crisis. He has no credibility. wvmetronews.com/2024/10/16/a…

Don’t just listen to policymakers when they say they care about children and families. Look at what they prioritize through their budgets.

WV governor candidate @SteveWilliamsWV & the teachers unions are standing up for our kids -- because that's what we do as West Virginians.
Teachers are on the front lines as defenders of our children. Teachers need assistance, such as behavioral health specialists in schools.
The message Williams wanted the educators and other voters to walk away with is to take pride in being from the Mountain State.
"The main goal is to remind people you’re a West Virginian. Stand tall, square your shoulders, hold your head high. We are West Virginians. Nobody is better than us and frankly, we can compete with anybody in the world. We have the capacity to be able to create innovative solutions that will change the world. And we have talent hiding in plain sight in every community. And just what we have to do is decide what we are going to do. You need to have a governor that is encouraging. I’m not going to come up with the answers. They will." - Steve Williams

8 years into @WVGovernor’s tenure and this is the result and it would be much worse without all the jobs created by federal legislation negotiated by @Sen_JoeManchin. #rocketshipridetonowhere

“We have been Republicans all our lives. We both voted for Donald Trump…
Never in a million years did either of us think that we'd be standing here supporting a Democrat. But we've had enough. We've had enough.”

It’s infuriating when it’s practically impossible to cancel something - gym membership, magazine subscription - that was so easy to sign up for.
Seeing the FTC put an end to that is one more reason I’m thankful for the Biden-Harris administration.

Three billionaires donated $220 million to Donald Trump between July and September.
Read that back.
Three people. $200 million. In just three months.
Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

“The number one, essential need for the child welfare system is foster families. Without them, the entire system begins to crumble." WV’s foster care system has struggled to keep up with the high rate of children in state care, reports @AmeliaKnisely.

Democracy is not billionaires buying elections. That’s Oligarchy.
We must overturn the disastrous Citizens United Supreme Court decision and move to public funding of elections.

How refreshing - West Virginians should vote for @SteveWilliamsWV because, first and foremost, he is laser-focused on WV. His sole ambition is to make West Virginia a great place to live, work, and raise a family. @wvdemocrats wvgazettemail.com/elections/…
