My friend who is running for House of Delegates in the 24th needs help

[Dgraham2014]

1. I appreciate the support.

My election is unique because it will send a clear signal to the coal companies that have oppressed the people here in WV for decades. We have been living under the thumb of big coal companies for decades and I believe that it's time for that to change. I have many friends that share my progressive views helping me run this campaign. They understand that change in the coalfields will begin with this campaign!

I'm a displaced coal miner looking for work in a state that's ranked 46th in the U.S. in economic diversity. I support the WV Future Fund to promote economic diversification and workforce development in WV. We must focus on a transition in this state that will create a new economy for coal communities like mine. I support raising the minimum wage in WV and putting in place inflation indexing. I support raising teacher pay to a level that's competitive with the rest of the nation.

My opponents go to Charleston as Coal Company Delegates that produce legislation primarily in the interest of companies like Patriot, Arch Coal and Consol. One of the two current Delegates has been the lone Democrat to co-sponsor many bills with Republicans. These bills are death penalty bills and bills to implement drug testing for public assistance.

If there was ever an opportunity to promote a true Progressive agenda in WV, this is it! I need your support so I can win this election and keep WV Blue.
