Charleston, W.Va. – The West Virginia Sheriffs’ Association Political Action Committee (PAC), representing county sheriffs across West Virginia, has endorsed Governor Jim Justice for U.S. Senate in the Republican Primary.
“The West Virginia Sheriffs’ Association PAC has endorsed your candidacy [Governor Jim Justice] for United States Senate representing West Virginia. We look forward to working with you to build stronger communities, combat drug abuse, and make West Virginia as safe as possible,” said Sheriff Jimmy Riffle (Marion County), President of the West Virginia Sheriffs’ Association.
“It’s an absolute honor to be endorsed by the West Virginia Sheriffs’ Association PAC for the U.S. Senate. There could not be a higher honor for me than to be supported and endorsed by the men and women of law enforcement who put it all on the line every single day to protect each and every one of us. Working with these heroes during my time as Governor has been a real privilege, and I will be their champion, fighting for them every day in the U.S. Senate,” said Governor Jim Justice.
West Virginia’s Sheriffs have been on the front line of protecting Mountaineers since 1863, and some even before that when current West Virginia counties were still a part of Virginia. The West Virginia Sheriffs’ Association Political Action Committee (PAC) works to advance the working conditions and benefits of the members of all West Virginia Sheriffs, their sworn and civilian Law Enforcement and Tax Office personnel, as well as the safety and welfare of West Virginians.
Governor Justice concluded, “I support our men and women in law enforcement and in the U.S. Senate will work to ensure they have the tools, training, technology, and support to protect this country and West Virginians. Whether our law enforcement officers protect and secure our border, take down drug dealers, or provide protection and safety in our neighborhoods and communities, I will always be with our law enforcement men and women.”
In addition to the West Virginia Sheriffs’ Association, Governor Jim Justice is the only Donald Trump-endorsed America First Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in West Virginia.
