Public employees in West Virginia are among the lowest paid in the nation. Between our teachers who dedicate the majority of their lives to our children, our police officers that keep us safe, our school service personnel and many more, public employees often find themselves choosing between going to the doctor and being able to pay their necessities each month. 

Our public employees keep this great mountain state running and without them, we would surely fail. Now, it is time to show them how much we truly appreciate everything that they do. 

Stand with me and the thousands of West Virginians who believe our public employees deserve better. They deserve higher wages and lower insurance premiums. They deserve to be treated as professionals rather than inconveniences.
