WVEA-PAC recommends pro-education candidates for November election


September 15, 2022 – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The West Virginia Education Association-Political Action Committee (WVEA-PAC) recommends the following candidates for the West Virginia Legislature in the November 8 General Election.

“WVEA-PAC believes, based on past performances and responses to interview questions, these candidates are advocates for public education and students,” stated WVEA-PAC Chair Dale Lee. “They share our commitment to improving public education and will work hard to move West Virginia forward.”

“We must do our part to get these pro-education candidates elected for the future of public education,” concluded Lee. WVEA-PAC is the independent, political arm of the WVEA, the state’s largest teacher organization.

In addition to the endorsements made by WVEA-PAC, the WVEA Executive Committee had previously voted to oppose constitutional Amendment 2 and constitutional Amendment 4 on the November ballot.
