Now we Know Why

Press Release

Jim Justice has pulled out all the stops to keep voters from knowing that he supports Hillary Clinton for President. Now we know why. In her acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Hillary Clinton made it clear she backs an extreme liberal agenda that is out of step with West Virginia.

Hillary Clinton at the very beginning of her speech pledged to fully implement the Democratic platform calling it the only way to "…turn our progressive platform into real change for America. We wrote it together -- now let's go out there and make it happen together." The platform calls for an end to fossil fuel production in America, starting with requiring half of all energy production to be from renewable sources within a decade. It calls for an end to mining and a ban on fracking.

"West Virginia can't afford four more years of President Obama's War on Coal, and now Hillary Clinton has not only doubled down on his war, she has pledged to open up a new front on the Washington liberal agenda to end fossil fuel production in America," said Bill Cole. "West Virginia's history is rooted in producing cheap power for America, and we can't afford for Hillary Clinton to take more of our good paying jobs."

"Jim Justice has called for party unity, and he is running on a national platform that will end energy production in America and a state platform -- yet to be published -- that will end mining and the ability to harness our vast resources of natural gas that will keep and create thousands of new good paying jobs in West Virginia."
