I’m proud to endorse her grassroots campaign. As the daughter and the granddaughter of coal miners, she understands deeply the desperate situation so many West Virginia families find themselves in. She will work tirelessly to ensure the people of Appalachia are treated with dignity. She will lead the charge for clean water and good-paying jobs for all. She understands that we must bridge the gap for families with long histories in the coal mining industry, and that we must support them as we transition to clean energy alternatives. While West Virginians struggle to make ends meet, she has seen firsthand from her families’ experiences the toll a broken economy takes on the health of a community. She will fight to guarantee health care as a human right. She understands that a Medicare for All single payer system will not only dramatically improve the quality of life of every West Virginian, but it will support small businesses struggling to provide for their employees. Paula Jean is unafraid to take on the greed and corruption of the world’s biggest corporations, including holding accountable the pharmaceutical companies who flooded West Virginia with drugs they knew were dangerous and addictive. She knows that the devastation caused to countless families from the opioid epidemic requires investing in substance abuse services and ensuring that families have access to high quality mental health services. It’s hard to overestimate the power of Paula Jean becoming West Virginia’s next senator. If a strong progressive like her represented a state with one of the highest poverty rates in the nation, it would be a significant moment in our fight to transform our country so it works for all of us. I need Paula Jean in the Senate with me, and I hope the people of West Virginia will support her.」7月9日 23時03分
