Ken Hechler Press Release
By Ken Hechler
Why should a 95 years old Democrat suddenly file his candidacy for the U.S. Senate in the August 28 primary?
1. As a long-time opponent of Mountain-top removal, I want to give an opportunity to the thousands of opponents of mountain-top removal to register their opposition by casting their ballots for me.
2. I believe it is a violation of our time honored system of free elections for one individual to anoint himself as an uncontested winner.
3. The voters of West Virginia are entitled to register their choice as the legitimate nominee of the Democratic party for the November General Election.
My campaign headquarters is located at 101B Greenbrier Street, Charleston 25311, and the telephone number is 304-395-4323.
My permanent campaign staff includes Mike Harmon of St. Albans (304) 741-4543, and Annagayle Stevens, of Charleston as campaign office manager.
