Senate Dems’ campaign arm set to sue West Virginia governor and Joe Manchin’s GOP rival Jim Justice
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee said Monday it is preparing to file a lawsuit against West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice for access to his government schedule and calendar that Democrats allege would show a light workload. The Republican governor recently announced his 2024 candidacy for Mr. Manchin’s seat.
Mr. Stauffer also suggested that Democrats are seeking to boost West Virginia Rep. Alex Mooney in the GOP primary because he would be a weaker general election opponent for Mr. Manchin. In March and again in April, the DSCC requested the official schedules and calendars from January 2017 to present for Mr. Justice, his chief of staff, his deputy chief of staff and his general counsel but says all were denied.
“As you are no doubt aware, a willful violation of the West Virginia FOIA is a criminal offense,” DSCC counsel Jacquelyn Lopez wrote to Mr. Bentley in a letter.
