Mike Caputo
WV Senate, District 13
"The rich and their corporations have lobbyists to advance their interests, and the people of West Virginia need someone with common ideals and common sense to fight back for them."

David Childers
WV Senate, District 14
"When we have a government of working class individuals showing compassion to the people, our society will thrive."

Pete Dougherty
WV Senate, District 16
"Children, families, working people and veterans especially those homeless and in need have driven me to work to make lives of West Virginians and all Americans better. Leadership will be measured by what we do to to make the next generation healthier and more secure."
WV House of Delegates

Levi Billiter
WV House, District 14
"Teachers are tired of hearing about our failing schools. Our students are not failing, they are fighting their way through adversity. I want the chance to fight for everyone in WV the way I fight for my students. Together, we can change WV for the better."

Rodney Miller
WV House, District 23
"I am honored to have the opportunity to do something for West Virginians rather than to the people of our great state, and I look forward to continuing that work. Together we are stronger!"

Kathy Ferguson
WV House, District 35
"Maintaining a 'People First' platform, means that everything I plan to do as a legislator will be centered around The People, advancing policies that would be considered beneficial and opposing any that would cause undue hardships or disadvantage to the masses of WV people."

Rusty Williams
WV House, District 35
"For nearly a decade, my entire life has been dedicated to ending the prohibition of cannabis and to fighting for patients and if I’m fortunate enough to be elected to represent the 35th district, I will fight for all Mountaineers with the same unwavering resolve. Together, we can grow a healthier, more prosperous West Virginia!"

Cody Thompson
WV House, District 43
"We must fight for pay raises for our teachers, service personnel, corrections officers, police officers, firefighters, D.O.H., D.H.H.R., and all state employees and their families that keep our state running. We cannot continue to lose our talented employees to other states and other industries because we don’t pay them a fair and equitable wage. "

Brittney Barlett
WV House, District 46
"West Virginia deserves a government that is of, by, and for people, not profits"

Ryan Deems
WV House, District 48
"When there is a need to fix our roads or improve our education system, politicians say there is no money. When the wealthy donors complain about paying taxes (less taxes than you and I pay every year), politicians work like hell to give them a tax cut. It doesn't have to be this way."

Mike Manypenny
WV House, District 49 *
"I look forward to working with WVWFP to fight for workers rights including fair wages, equal pay, workers right to collective bargaining, along with fighting the pollute for profit mentality that has kept a stranglehold on our great State for so many years."

Justin Hough
WV House, District 52 *
"What if the values instilled in our military and first responders were everyday values for ALL and YOU were governed by those values - Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honesty, Integrity and Personal Courage?"

Bradley Rinard
WV House, District 55
"Now's the time, West Virginia government for and by West Virginians for a bright, better and more caring future."

John Doyle
WV House, District 67
"West Virginians, to my mind, want their government to be clean, open, transparent and fair."

Charlie Marshall

"Despite what we are often told, right now, West Virginia is wealthier than at any time in our history. If we realign our priorities, invest in our communities, and value our citizens over corporate profits, our future has never been brighter."

Arthena Roper
Jefferson County Magistrate
"I believe the judicial system is an important part of the balance of our society, that is why I show dignity and respect in my courtroom and I hold every participant to the same high standards."

Cory Roman
Martinsburg City Council
"The working class deserves working class champions, I promise to be one piece of the puzzle.”

Johnny Hager

"Our volunteer fire fighters, recovering addicts, teachers, and business owners need a commissioner they can trust to help them when they are in need, not just during election year. . . let's put progress over politics."

Micah Weglinski

Nancy Walker

WVWFP Endorsed

"Our community will heal when the best of our traditions is merged with the best ideas about sustainability"
*Yes, we know we've endorsed more candidates than you can vote for in a few races.
In a few races, we had more excellent candidates than voters have votes, and we decided to endorse multiple candidates and let the voters choose. In House District 49, we endorsed two candidates but voters have to choose just one. Likewise, in House District 50, we endorsed four candidates, and voters will have to choose just three.
In House District 52, we also endorsed two candidates -- one Democrat and one Republican. You will only have one of those two on your ballot, depending on which party's ballot you are voting on. We'd love to face the hard choice between those two in the general, so let's see if we can get them both past their primaries!
