Senator Donna Boley (Pleasants County)-3rd District
Annually, Senator Donna Boley & Carolyn Dawson host an event for the "Women in Red" to attend. Almost 40 Republican Women from all over West Virginia traveled to the state capitol today for this special day. A continential breakfast greeted everyone in the Governor's Conference Room. After a time of registration and networking, the ladies posed for a photo on the Senate Floor, followed by attending the Senate session where we were introduced and welcomed in the gallery. Senate Bill 343 (would allow a grace period for fire departments to submit data to the State Fire Marshall. The State Fire Marshall would also be required to give notice to the fire department as to the dates of the grace period) was passed while we were present. Lunch was held in the food court of the capitol.
Many came to speak to the ladies: Senator Mike Hall (Putnam Co.), Senator David Nohe (Wood Co.), Del. Tim Armstead (Kanawha Co/Dist. 32), Del. Anna Border (Wood Co/Dist. 9), Del. Mitch Carmichael (Jackson Co/Dist. 12), Wood Ireland (Ritchie Co/Dist. 7), De. Carol Miller (Cabell Co/Dist. 15), Del. Rick Snuffer (Raleigh Co/Dist. 27), and Del. Kelli Sobonya (Cabell Co/Dist. 16).
Candidates included: John Raese for U.S. Congress, Bill Maloney for Governor, Allen Loughry for WV Supreme Court, Jim Butler for House of Del. in Mason County, Robin Holstein for House of Del. in Kanawha County, and Suzette Raines for House of Delegates in Kanawha County.
The days' events are successful at energizing our groups to get busy and work harder to achieve our goals. May we all do our part to "Paint our county red" in order to make West Virginia a "Red State in 2012!"
