How it works
-
Email team@wvcantwait.com for information about how to sign the WV Can’t Wait Candidate Pledge. We’ll get back to you within 10 days with a sample press release, a “I took the WV Can’t Wait Candidate Pledge” seal to put on your website, and some resources.
-
Want your candidate to sign the pledge but don’t see their name? Ask them to pledge to refuse corporate PAC money and email team@wvcantwait.com for info about how to sign.
-
This pledge is not an endorsement. It’s a way for candidates to publicly commit to running a campaign on the side of West Virginians–not out-of-state landowners, monopolies, and big banks.
-
We want this to work for you in your race! So it’s up to you how much you associate your campaign with the pledge, or whether you sign on to the platform.
(The list of pledge-signers is updated roughly once monthly, and was last updated on August 23, 2020.)
