WV Democratic Executive Committee reelects Pushkin as chair of state party
Members of the West Virginia Democratic Executive Committee have reelected chairman Del. Mike Pushkin, D-Kanawha, to serve another four-year term.
The committee voted 43 to 32 Saturday to reelect Pushkin during its organizational meeting in Charleston, West Virginia.
“I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to continue serving as chair of the West Virginia Democratic Party,” Pushkin said in a news release Monday. “The work of rebuilding our party belongs to all of us — our county organizations, volunteers, candidates, labor partners, activists and grassroots Democrats across the state who continue to show up, organize, and fight for a better West Virginia.”
Pushkin won against challenger Teresa Toriseva, a Wheeling attorney who was vice chair of the committee. Toriseva said in a press statement last week announcing her plans to run that Pushkin had lost the confidence of the party.
