FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CHARLESTON, WV − The West Virginia Education Association-Political Action Committee (WVEA-PAC) has released the names of their endorsed candidates for the November 5 General Election.
“WVEA-PAC believes, based on past performances and responses to interview questions, these candidates are advocates for public education and for our children,” states WVEA-PAC Chair Dale Lee. “These candidates share our commitment to improving education in West Virginia.”
“Nearly all major decisions about public education rest in the hands of our elected leaders,” Lee continues. “School consolidations, funding, salaries, benefits, standards, class size, support services, etc., are all decided by an elected official, or someone appointed by an elected official. Elections, at all levels, are important for public education and education employees. In particular, the candidates for governor—Huntington Mayor Steve Williams and Attorney General Patrick Morrisey—have stark contrasts when it comes to public education and educating our students.”
WVEA-PAC is the independent, political arm of the WVEA, the state’s largest teacher organization.
