WHEELING, W.Va. — Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Glenn Elliott said there are “clear contrasts” between him and his opponent, Republican and current West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice.
One of them is that if elected he plans to work at the Senate full-time, while he said Justice doesn’t.
Elliott provided remarks during a campaign town hall and fundraising event Thursday night at the First State Capitol in Wheeling — his hometown where he is the former mayor.
“Of the two of us, I’m the only one who does want this job and intends to make it a full-time job if elected,” Elliott said of Justice. “He has a sense of entitlement. He thinks this Senate seat is his. I think when people actually look at the two candidates, they will see I’m the one who will actually show up to work and who will never embarrass them on the national stage.
“You can be a part-time governor and (others) will accommodate you,” Elliott said. “You cannot be a part-time U.S. senator.”
