Teamsters Endorse Judge Will Thompson For Supreme Court

SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va., Sept. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Members of Teamsters Local 175 unanimously voted to endorse Boone County Circuit Judge Will Thompson for the Supreme Court Division 2. The members made this decision after Thompson spoke to them; they were impressed with his several years' of experience as an attorney and judge. While the Teamsters have never had a case before Thompson his record proves that he will give a fair hearing to everyday working people. During Thompson's time as a judge he dealt with important issues such as the Upper Big Branch mine disaster and cases involving the state of West Virginia and pharmaceutical suppliers. 

"Judge Thompson is by far the most qualified candidate for the Supreme Court. The Teamsters don't ask that these candidates agree with us on every issue but only request we get a decision based on the facts and not politics. With Judge Will Thompson workers will get a fair shake. Hardworking West Virginians deserve to choose a Justice based on fairness and equality as opposed to a handpicked Justice based on politics" said Ken Hall, President of Local 175 and General Secretary-Treasurer of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
