West Virginia's Democratic Congressional Delegation Endorses Dean
WASHINGTON--In a dual endorsement in an important general election state, West Virginia's two Democratic congressmen have endorsed Governor Howard Dean. U.S. Representatives Nick Rahall and Alan Mollohan made the announcement today, citing Governor Dean's strength of character and his commitment to working families and the communities in which they live.
"Howard Dean can be the voice for jobs for West Virginians, and one for assuring comprehensive health care for our families and the retired coal miner. As a physician, healing, not division, is his passion. Our country and our allies could use a good dose of his common-sense approach to making people's lives better and our country stronger and safer," Rahall said.
"Governor Dean understands the investments states and this nation must make in our public infrastructure, good highways, clean water and adequate wastewater treatment. He understands the need for a national energy plan that maximizes our domestic resources and he knows the value of maintaining an environment that raises people's quality of life. I believe he knows full well that a secure America begins with a strong economy," Rahall said.
"Howard Dean has his priorities straight, and he is not afraid to stand up for the best interests of working people. He strongly believes that public investments, fair taxes, balanced budgets and sound Social Security and Medicare programs are vital to the prosperity and health of all our citizens. And he makes an outstanding case against the 'Bush tax' which is the harmful result of President Bush's single-minded push for tax cuts for wealthy Americans. Working families will pay a huge 'Bush tax' in the form of higher deficits, higher state and local taxes, and reduced investments in our communities," Mollohan said.
