It was an honor to stand with this powerful group of workers with @UFCW400 demanding better working conditions and a union contract. @TudorsBiscuits are a WV icon that West Virginians love - support them to be #UnionBiscuits too!

#BREAKING workers @TudorsBiscuits in Elkview, West Virginia marched on their boss this afternoon to demand recognition of their union! Management called the police on them, but we will keep fighting until their union is recognized and they get the fair contract they deserve! #1u
The package Sen Manchin has negotiated is an investment in WV, and in America as a nation. It’s a bet that America can be the source—and envy—of the world in exporting the technology and low-carbon products that will define the 21st century.

This is Heather. I met her while canvassing her neighborhood. She welcomed me in her home and offered me water. She’s an entrepreneur on Etsy. She’s pro-life but believed the bill considered by the legislature to be too cruel. She supports law enforcement. I love my job. #great8
West Virginia State Rep. Chris Pritt (R) attempts to argue that making absent fathers pay child support will encourage more abortions during debate on the state’s proposed restrictive abortion bill.
Assuming the strike and insert for WV’s abortion ban #HB302 isn’t quite done yet.
The irony in having something forced on you and needing time to make a decision…
Republicans: WE HATE INFLATION!
Democrats: Here’s a bill reducing inflation.
Republicans: If you pass this, we’re going to block funding for American troops suffering from toxic exposure and funding to bring the semiconductor chip industry back to the US to compete with China.
This morning a 12 year old in our district, and family friend of mine, decided she wanted to address the WV House of Delegates. Her burning fire to stand up for what is right is something to be admired. Your call to action is to elect those who will listen, and advocate.
While I know my caucus thinks this exception is incredibly limited and unacceptable generally, this was our only chance to protect victims of rape and incest.
Our amendment to include all victims of rape and incest without any limitations failed with this roll call:
A terrible piece of legislation that removes bodily autonomy from people who can become pregnant is currently being debated in the WV House and here is my representation, my voice, in that room: an empty chair.
Listening to WV House Judiciary Meeting about House Bill 302. The hypocrisy is REAL. No amendments for RAPE and INCEST. No sex education in public education. I will not thank anyone who is impeding on reproductive healthcare freedom. Do better.#MyBodyMyChoice
As a current constituent of Dr. Matthew Rohrbach in the 26th District, I urge him to stay true to the oath we both took and vote against this ban in order to protect our patients’ rights to privacy and autonomy.
See y’all tomorrow! We are still standing. Please let us know how this piece of legislation will impact your life or the lives of those you love!#AbortionIsHealthcare
Do you know how it feels to have an abortion bill given 5 minutes before your meeting starts? Do you know how it feels to hear your colleague ask for 30 minutes to read the bill and get amendments and only given 15? A room filled with mostly MALES!
