Support Secretaries of State in 2006 who will protect voter rights in 2008

Tennant wins West Virginia primary

Natalie Tennant won a decisive victory in the West Virgina Democratic Secretary of State primary.

She campaigned on a platform that included making it easier for students to vote, increasing citizen participation in the pollworker program and encouraging peer-to-peer get out the vote programs.

A former television news anchor, Tennant beat out Senate Majority Leader Joe DeLong, even though he outspent her $263,528 to $41,684 (according to the latest campaign finance reports).

She faces Charles Minimah, the republican nominee, in the general election. Minimah was unopposed in the primary.

If Tennant is elected, she will replace Republican Secretary of State Betty Ireland who decided not to run for another term. Ireland is currently working hard to oppose Election Day Registration in West Virginia.
