Senate Dems’ campaign arm set to sue West Virginia governor and Joe Manchin’s GOP rival Jim Justice
Joe Manchin III
“Jim Justice cannot hide his work schedule — or lack thereof — from West Virginians, and this is an area which is sure to receive further scrutiny in his nasty primary,” said DSCC spokesperson David Bergstein. “The Democrats see that Gov. Justice will be West Virginia’s next U.S. Senator and will likely help Mooney in the Republican primary election,” he said.Lawyers for DSCC, which is Senate Democrats’ campaign and fundraising arm, notified Mr. Justice’s office Monday that they plan to sue to obtain the information, saying they’ve been twice illegally denied as part of a public records request.
State General Counsel J. Berkeley Bentley denied Democrats’ request in both cases, saying the schedules or calendars “contain both personal and official appointments” and the Freedom of Information Act and prior case law provided grounds for denial.
