ABOUT

In three elections, West Virginia led the nation in supporting President Trump. If Independents had been excluded from voting in the 2024 Republican primary, it would have reduced his vote total and risked alienating the large number of Independent voters who support him in the general election.

Open primaries ensure general election results reflect the will of the people. For example, in three elections, West Virginia led the nation in supporting President Trump. If Independents had been excluded from voting in the 2024 Republican primary, it would have reduced his vote total and risked alienating the large number of Independent voters who supported him in the general election.
 
Mountaineers have always valued freedom, and the right to choose their leaders is fundamental to that freedom.

Let’s keep the new voters President Trump brought into the political process by allowing them to have a voice in who is nominated for office. It is time for party leaders to put the voters first by allowing Independent voters the right to vote in 2026 just like they did in 2024.
