<h4>Accessing WVDP VoteBuilder</h4>The West Virginia Democratic Party (WVDP) Voter File, VoteBuilder, is a tool available to all Democratic County Parties, candidates, and partners in good standing. VoteBuilder is considered the gold-standard of campaign technology for voter contact and volunteer management. VoteBuilder provides users access to not only the voter file data from each County Clerk, but also to powerful score modeling and consumer data to help us target the right people. Each County Party, campaign, or partner is given access to their own committee to engage in voter contact and volunteer management. The information generated by these groups is unique to each committee, and proprietary for the duration of the cycle. At the end of each calendar year, WVDP’s data team incorporates the collective data of all committees to improve the overall data for all VoteBuilder users, in this way making the use of the tool cooperative.&nbsp;In an effort to ensure quality access, fair cost, and accountable use, the WVDP is instituting the following <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/12cOh0sf7s6h8F1tRc7f7SSwpoV_yRM4uajTLStOnLL0/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">VoteBuilder policies</a> for the 2023 - 2024 cycle. WVDP reserves the right to add, remove, or change any of these policies as deemed necessary throughout the cycle.

We affirm our commitment to these principles as updated, which areas follows:Six Basic Elements of an Open Party1. All public meetings at all levels of the Democratic Party in each state should be opento all members of the Democratic Party regardless of race, sex, age, color, creed,national origin, religion, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, gender identity andexpression, economic status or disability (hereinafter collectively referred to as“status”).2. No test for membership in, nor any oaths of loyalty to, the Democratic Party in anystate should be required or used which has the effect of requiring prospective orcurrent members of the Democratic Party to acquiesce in, condone or supportdiscrimination based on “status.”3. The time and place for all public meetings of the Democratic Party on all levelsshould be publicized fully and in such a manner as to assure timely notice to allinterested persons. Such meetings must be held in places accessible to all Partymembers and large enough to accommodate all interested persons.4. The Democratic Party, on all levels, should support the broadest possible registrationwithout discrimination based on “status.”5. The Democratic Party in each state should publicize fully and in such a manner as toassure notice to all interested parties a full description of the legal and practicalprocedures for selection of Democratic Party officers and representatives on alllevels. Publication of these procedures should be done in such fashion that allprospective and current members of each State Democratic Party will be fully andadequately informed of the pertinent procedures in time to participate in eachselection procedure at all levels of the Democratic Party organization. Each StateParty should develop a strategy to provide education programs directly to voters whocontinue to experience confusing timelines for registration, changing party affiliationdeadlines, or lack of awareness of the process for running for delegate, to ensure allDemocratic voters understand the rules and timelines and their impact on voterparticipation.6. The Democratic Party in each state should publicize fully and in such a manner as toassure notice to all interested parties a complete description of all positions as officersand representatives of the state Democratic Party. Such publication should be done ina timely fashion so that all prospective candidates or applicants for any elected orappointed position within each State Democratic Party will have full and adequateopportunity to compete for office.History, continued:In 1974 the national Democratic Party adopted the Charter of the Democratic Party of the UnitedStates. In that Charter, the Party mandated that all state parties adopt and implement affirmativeprograms to provide for representation of historically underrepresented diversity groups asindicated by their presence in the Democratic electorate and that the program shall includespecific goals and timetables.On March 15, 2021, the WV Democratic Party (“WVDP”) adopted Bylaws with a provision forthe WVDP Affirmative Action Committee (“AAC”) made up of elected co-chairs from each ofthe diversity caucuses. In the newly adopted Bylaws, Article VIII, provided that the AAC shalldraft, and the Executive Committee shall promptly adopt an Affirmative Action Outreach Planthat will increase opportunity and diversity in the WVDP and provide for representation on theExecutive Committee as nearly as practicable of the historically underrepresented groups, asindicated by their presence in the Democratic electorate based on data derived by the DNC, andthat the program shall include specific goals and timetables. Article VIII also provided thatdiversity caucuses will choose their leadership.During the month of May 2021, the following diversity caucuses were formed: Black, LGBTQ+,Persons with Disabilities, Senior, Women, and Youth. The co-chairs of these caucuses met onJune 2, 2021, as the Affirmative Action Committee (AAC) and elected Hollis Lewis and MaryThorp as AAC co-chairs. On June 3, 2021, the 2 AAC co-chairs were seated as members of theWVDP State Executive Committee along with 5 of 6 at-large diversity members provided for inthe newly adopted Bylaws.<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QLUzu7cNKbLE3bSeh-CMC5n-Y5qGzA8t/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">On May 13, 2023 the affirmative action plan, drafted by the WVDP Affirmative Action</a><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QLUzu7cNKbLE3bSeh-CMC5n-Y5qGzA8t/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Committee was adopted</a>. <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QLUzu7cNKbLE3bSeh-CMC5n-Y5qGzA8t/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">PDF Link</a>

<h2>WVDP Platform Summary</h2><h4>WV Democrats are an inclusive party, focused on building a better future for all.</h4><h4>That means modern infrastructure and equal opportunities for all.</h4>Democracy – We believe in transparent, participatory democracy. Peaceful transfer of power. Protecting voting rights and the Constitution. Open primaries (independent/non-affiliated voters may vote in WV Democratic primary elections).&nbsp;Modern Infrastructure – Tens of billions in public and private investments are coming to WV due to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act. New factories, roads, bridges, transit, and better jobs. Eldercare and childcare are also critical infrastructure for our families and businesses.Labor – Strengthen the voices of all workers. Improve wages, benefits, collective bargaining, safety/health, retirement security, and working conditions.Human Rights – All are welcome here. No hate in our hollers. We promote equal opportunity for all. Law enforcement and first responders have key roles in both securing and caring for communities. We promote long-term recovery from substance use disorder in our jails, workplaces, hospitals, &amp; beyond.&nbsp;We support restoring the constitutional right to reproductive freedom, and access to high-quality reproductive health care services.Public Education &amp; Families – High-quality, free public education requires greater investment in public schools. We honor and support teachers and school service personnel. Reduce student debt. Expand early childhood and after-school programs. Oppose privatization of public schools. Improve childcare &amp; foster care.Healthcare for All – Quality, affordable healthcare is a basic human right. Millions of citizens have affordable healthcare because of the Affordable Care Act. Creating a high-quality, affordable public option will yield more competition &amp; better healthcare outcomes.Energy &amp; Environment – Efficient, sustainable development is good for workers, businesses, households, and public health. Reduce energy costs through new tech. Reducing emissions can occur with all fuel sources. Conserve natural resources. Protect special places. Polluters should pay for the costs of their business.Public Health – Invest in protecting public health, including food security, access to nature, and the physical, mental, and social health of all.Immigration is part of our heritage as West Virginians. We support secure borders and immigration law reform. We also have a spirit of grace and mercy toward refugees facing cruelty and exile. Migration can bring economic opportunity.Global Leadership – U.S. foreign policy must advance America’s security, prosperity, and values. We honor our veterans and military. Internationally, we support democracy, labor (fair trade), human rights, and America’s alliances. <h4>When Democrats govern, we build an equitable &amp; growing economy.</h4><h4>When Republicans govern, West Virginia loses.</h4>Adopted by the 2024 West Virginia Democratic Party State Convention, June 15, 2024

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 4, 2025 CHARLESTON, WV – As Donald Trump addresses a Joint Session of Congress tonight, the West Virginia Democratic Party is calling out his failed leadership and broken promises to West Virginians. Trump campaigned here in 2016 with a prop shovel, claiming he would revive the coal industry. But in 2025, that same shovel is being used to dig the grave for West Virginia’s energy economy.“When Trump campaigned here during his first campaign, he brought a prop shovel to illustrate how he ‘digs’ coal,” said West Virginia Democratic Party Vice Chair Teresa Toriseva. “Little did we know he would return in 2025 and use that shovel to dig the grave for West Virginia’s energy economy.”The evidence is clear. Trump’s reckless policies are costing West Virginians their jobs:• Over <a href="https://wvmetronews.com/2025/02/25/uncertainty-causes-a-weakening-of-the-market-for-metallurgical-coal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">165 coal miners</a> were laid off earlier this year, a devastating blow to families who depended on those paychecks.• The <a href="https://www.alleghenyfront.org/trump-clean-energy-arch2-appalachian-regional-hydrogen-hub/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$7 billion hydrogen hub project</a> has stalled in West Virginia thanks to Trump's spending freeze, putting more high-paying energy jobs at risk.• <a href="https://wvmetronews.com/2025/02/25/uncertainty-causes-a-weakening-of-the-market-for-metallurgical-coal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Trump’s trade war</a> is driving down demand for West Virginia’s metallurgical coal, which is critical for steelmaking. That has already cost at least 165 miners at Leer South Mine in Barbour County their jobs.• <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/03/04/nx-s1-5317515/u-s-stock-markets-plunge-trump-tariffs-canada-mexico-china" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">The Trump tariffs</a> are driving down the stock market and threatening the retirement security of millions of Americans.&nbsp;&nbsp;“The 165 coal mining jobs lost are a result of the Trump tariffs which are a direct attack on metallurgical coal. China has now chosen to purchase their coal from Australia, not West Virginia. As a result, the metallurgical coal market is now in jeopardy and so are the jobs of our hardworking coal miners,” said House Minority Whip Shawn Fluharty.&nbsp;Trump’s attacks on working families don’t stop there. His administration is allowing Elon Musk to lay off West Virginia workers at the U.S. Treasury Department, gutting good-paying government jobs right here at home. The other 20,000 federal employees who live in West Virginia are now wondering if their jobs are next on the chopping block. “Trump talks a big game about standing up for West Virginians, but the truth is, he’s costing us jobs,” added Toriseva. “Coal miners, energy workers, and even federal employees are all worse off because of him. West Virginia deserves better than a president who sells false hope while delivering pink slips.”As Trump takes the stage tonight, West Virginians should remember: he promised jobs, but all he’s delivered are layoffs, lost opportunities, and economic hardship.

West Virginia Democrats Slam Trump’s Empty Promises as State Suffers Job Losses Under His Leadership

The West Virginia Democratic Party is calling out Governor Patrick Morrisey for failing to act and for allowing these devastating increases to hit thousands of workers and retirees.“Pay-Cut Patrick failed to take action to stabilize PEIA premiums,” said West Virginia Democratic Party Chair Mike Pushkin. “So now, state employees, including law enforcement officers, school teachers, school service personnel, CPS workers, and retirees will soon be paying a price for his inaction. Morrisey had a choice — he could have fought to protect working West Virginians. Instead, he did what he always does: protect his political donors and let working families bear the burden.”Delegate Kayla Young (D-Kanawha) echoed the concern, emphasizing the long-term impact of Morrisey’s failure. “West Virginia already ranks near the bottom nationally when it comes to teacher pay,” said Young. “These premium hikes are just another blow to educators who are already stretched thin. It’s going to make it even harder to recruit and retain good teachers in our classrooms. And let’s not forget our retirees. Many of them live on fixed incomes, and these higher premiums — combined with continued inflation and high grocery prices — are going to hit them hard.”Governor Morrisey’s failure to act has left public employees shouldering the consequences of a system in crisis. Instead of working with legislators, unions, and the PEIA Finance Board to create a sustainable path forward, Morrisey ignored the issue — and now thousands are paying the price.“Instead of confronting the problem head-on, Morrisey kicked the can down the road — just like he did with the state’s opioid crisis when he was rewarding his former Big Pharma clients when he was Attorney General,” added Pushkin. “He’s proven time and again that he’ll never put West Virginia workers first.”###
