One of my old friends just shared this article from Politico about a hard hitting, union supporting, tattooed, former paratrooper, who is running for an open seat in the US House in West Virginia. He was evidently one of, if not the, first boots on the ground at the Teacher Union strike in WV.
“We got your back, you got ours!” one teacher called out, and they roared.
“You keep making that noise, ladies and gentlemen!” he bellowed back. “This is what union is right here! Hey! Shoulder to shoulder! Don’t take a step back! Y’all deserve it!”
As a State Senator he spear-headed a bill to legalize medical marijuana in the state. And now he’s in full throated support of a teachers strike. Sounds like our kind of guy. Has anyone here heard about him. Anyone in WV know him and his background? Sounds like a guy who could really use our support.
