“I was raised better”: Ben Salango Launches Campaign Ad Hitting Jim Justice for Betraying West Virginians

West Virginia Democratic candidate Ben Salango launched a new campaign ad today, “Raised Better.” The ad showcases the vast differences between the two candidates – while Gov. Jim Justice has used his time as governor to enrich himself and give tax breaks to his family’s business empire, Salango grew up in a working class family and worked hard to build a business from the ground up.

Justice has a history of betraying hard working West Virginia families. Justice has been sued over 600 times for not paying his bills, and he made a backroom deal using his position as governor to give himself tax breaks. His business empire has also been accused of a shocking pattern of corruption which includes denying health insurance to hard-working coal miners and failing to pay mine safety penalties. 

Ben Salango was raised better than that – he’ll fight for everyday West Virginians, not just himself.

“Jim Justice doesn’t share the same values as hard working West Virginians,” said DGA Deputy Communications Director Christina Amestoy. “As a businessman, Justice cut corners, refused to pay his bills, and denied coal miners health insurance, and as governor, Justice used his position to enrich himself. That’s not Ben Salango’s style – he was raised better. Salango will fight for all West Virginians, not just himself.”
