The West Virginia Business & Industry Council (BIC), an organization representing more than 250,000 West Virginia employees across 26 separate industry categories, calls upon the West Virginia Legislature to enact legislation establishing a Primary Election to nominate candidates for the mandated Special Election for governor.
Jan Vineyard, chairman of BIC, said, “Every West Virginian deserves the right to cast a vote for their choice for Governor. While we respect the Supreme Court’s decision, we believe there needs to be a Primary Election, as opposed to the Convention system referenced in the Court’s ruling.”
