| 0:07.0 | We're going to be moving on an event that is going to feature four candidates that are part of the West Virginia, can't wait coalition, but they're federal candidates and they're all women, all Democrats, all from West Virginia, all with amazing stories all not taking any corporate pack money and clean unchartered candidates so I want you to meet them. |
| 0:36.0 | I'm excited by this and I'm excited by something new and that you get to meet these wonderful people throughout the country that are actually trying to clean up our government. So let me introduce them one by one or they'll introduce themselves but familiar with the first one if you've ever watched the young Turks, Paul Jean Swerge is one of the original just Democrats brand new Congress candidate from back in the last cycle. |

| 1:23.0 | I'm a poor call monitors daughter granddaughter, this movement is about and single mother and grandmother, this movement is about integrity back in terror, you know, government and putting the government into the hands of the people and just looking back on how much we've grown since that you know we started with Justice Democrats and brand new Congress. |
| 1:42.0 | The movement continued here in West, but really shows how people were really standing up. We had over 93 candidates to run this cycle and 43 of those candidates won and I'm excited because it's been 100 years since women have been voting and every Democratic nominee for Congress, y'all is a woman and we are not taking corporate pack money and we're ready to bust the halls of Congress, |
| 2:08.0 | and we're going to be able to make a stronger, stronger, and stronger, and make sure that not only West Virginia is having a seat at the table, but everybody in this country. |

| 2:29.0 | I'm proud of Democrat, I know these women are, but this is not about partisan politics, we're in the fight for our lives. |
| 2:36.0 | And one thing you did not do is mess with their young because we're going to come out of the belly, the beast kicking and screaming and we're going to, and I'm so incredibly proud of my state right now and proud of these women and I'm honored to be a part of this slate because it really solidifies that we can put the government back into the hands of the people and people will vote. |
| 2:58.0 | We're just tired of less or two evils and we are really creating a movement not only here in West Virginia, but across the country. |
