WEST VIRGINIA (LOOTPRESS) – The West Virginia Democratic Party announced that its delegates will vote for Vice President Kamala Harris for President.
The full letter was released:
“This decision follows President Biden’s decision to discontinue his campaign.
Vice President Harris, as the first African American woman nominated by a major political party, will represent a historic milestone in American politics. Her nomination will not only break barriers but also paves the way for a more inclusive and representative democracy.
Jean Evansmore, an 83-year-old African American woman and a lifelong advocate for civil rights, shared her thoughts on this momentous occasion. “As someone who has witnessed the struggles and triumphs of the civil rights movement, seeing Vice President Harris as our nominee fills me with immense pride. Her leadership is what our nation needs to restore justice and equality.”
West Virginia Democratic Vice Chair and candidate for Attorney General, Teresa Toriseva said, “Vice President Harris has been a steadfast advocate for reproductive rights. In light of recent attacks on reproductive freedom, her commitment to safeguarding these rights is crucial. We need her leadership to ensure that every woman has the autonomy over her own body and the freedom to make her own health care decisions.”
Olivia Dowler, a first-time candidate for the House of Delegates, highlighted the importance of defeating former President Donald Trump. “Donald Trump represents an existential threat to our democracy. His divisive rhetoric and policies have undermined the very foundation of our nation. Vice President Harris is the leader we need to unite us and steer us towards a brighter future. As a new candidate, I am inspired by her vision and dedication.”
The West Virginia Democratic Party believes that Vice President Harris’s nomination is a pivotal step toward addressing the critical issues facing our nation today. From restoring reproductive freedom to ensuring social justice and defeating the threats posed by divisive leadership, Vice President Harris stands as the beacon of hope and progress.
We urge West Virginians to join us in supporting Vice President Harris as our next President. Together, we can build a more just, equitable, and united America.”
