Democrats in West Virginia Focus on Rebuilding Party and Restoring State Offices

The Democratic Party in West Virginia is gearing up for the upcoming primary election, with a focus on recruiting community leaders and public servants to run for state offices. Del. Mike Pushkin, chair of the West Virginia Democratic Party, emphasized the importance of fielding qualified candidates who are dedicated to serving the people.

Despite facing challenges in a state dominated by Republicans, the Democrats have been working hard to rebuild their party and regain seats in the state Senate and House of Delegates. Pushkin highlighted the efforts to strengthen county Democratic Executive Committees and engage with voters across the state.

In the gubernatorial race, Huntington Mayor Steve Williams is set to be the Democratic candidate, with a campaign centered on real issues that impact West Virginians. Williams has called for a constitutional amendment to restore reproductive freedom in the state, emphasizing the importance of letting the people decide on such crucial matters.

As the Republican candidates engage in intense primary campaign mudslinging, the Democrats are focused on offering a meaningful choice to voters. Pushkin expressed confidence in the party’s ability to provide a real alternative to the divisive rhetoric seen on the other side.

With the general election approaching, the Democrats are determined to continue their fight for a better government and a brighter future for West Virginia. Despite the challenges they face, they remain committed to offering voters a clear and compelling choice in the upcoming election.
