🇺🇸 Veterans kept their promise. The GOP betrayed them.
Cuts to VA care risk 83,000 jobs and longer waits for 125,000 WV veterans who earned better than broken promises.

West Virginians deserve leaders who listen, answer tough questions, and stand up for working families—not politicians who hide behind donors and photo ops.

🚨 Cowards flee when the truth gets too close.

WV Republicans Carol Miller and Riley Moore ran from DC rather than vote on exposing Jeffrey Epstein’s network.

The GOP doesn’t want you to know the truth. We do.

Lives lost. Homes destroyed. WV must act.

Del. Hornbuckle's 2025 flood fund amendment was blocked by the GOP. Now WV Dems call on Gov. Morrisey to fund the Flood Resiliency Trust Fund—before the next disaster, not after.

📉 Some WV public employees are seeing smaller paychecks — more will next month — thanks to “Pay Cut Patrick” Morrisey’s failure to act on PEIA.

“He could’ve fought for WV workers. He chose his donors,” said WVDP Chair Mike Pushkin.

“It’s a blow to teachers,” said Delegate Kayla Young

West Virginia is home to 125K Veterans—but too many are being left behind.

🔹 39% pay over 30% of income on rent
🔹 12K rely on SNAP
🔹 17% of WV suicides are Vets

Now VA jobs + services are on the chopping block.

We owe them more than thanks. We owe them care. #WV #Veterans
