2026 FALL ENDORSEMENTS ARE LIVE! What a WV Can’t Wait endorsement means...
1. Every one of these candidates has pledged: to never take corporate cash, to never cross a picket line, to never hide from a debate, to never punch down.
2. Every one has signed on to the full WV Can’t Wait platform – more than 30 bold policies vetted and voted on by West Virginians at over 197 Town Halls.
3. Every one has attended a candidate training session, participated in an in-depth interview, and garnered at least 75% approval from our Candidate Committee.
You will not agree with every endorsement; neither did every member of our Candidate Committee 😉 But after hundreds of hours of debate, research, and vetting, we are proud of this slate. Can’t Wait fights for a people’s government in West Virginia, where the people who are normally put down, left out, and persecuted are the ones who get to write the laws. This group of candidates looks a helluva lot more like that government than the one we have now.
Finally, these are our first endorsements of the year, not the last. More than a dozen candidates not listed above are still in our pipeline, and we expect more questionnaires to roll in this summer. So where do we go from here? It's up to you.
We could use your energy, insight, time, and money -- as we work to both support these candidates, and to hold them accountable.
Maybe you would like to volunteer with one or more of these candidates... Maybe you believe one of these candidates is not living up to the Can't Wait pledge or platform... Maybe you're interested in passing along the questionnaire to someone not listed above... You can always find a representative of our Candidate Committee who's ready to help at [email protected] or reach out to our digital Help and Safety hotline here: https://forms.gle/2ykcYHWYCngRAyk7A.
