FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 25, 2025
CHARLESTON, WV – West Virginia Democratic Party Chair Mike Pushkin said, “Tonight, our hearts are heavy for the two members of the West Virginia National Guard shot in Washington, D.C. This cowardly and tragic act of violence should never happen in this country and our hearts grieve for the families who are dealing with this senseless act of violence. This tragedy transcends party lines — two families will now have to spend Thanksgiving in agony for their loved ones, who did nothing wrong and answered their call of duty. We honor these soldiers’ service, sacrifice, and courage. We hope and pray for the best. These young men, and their brothers and sisters in uniform represent the very best of us and the very best of West Virginia.”
