{Charleston, West Virginia}...The West Virginia AFL-CIO's Committee on Political Education agreed Monday to endorse longtime congressman Nick Rahall in the state's 3rd District. Rahall is running against Republican state delegate Rick Snuffer. But, the committee did not endorse anyone in the state's 1st District, where Democratic challenger Sue Thorn faces freshman Republican incumbent David McKinley, or the 2nd District, where Republican incumbent Shelley Moore Capito faces a challenge from Democrat Howard Swint. The AFL-CIO committee also endorsed Governor Earl Ray Tomblin, Secretary of State Natalie Tennant, Attorney General Darrell McGraw, Auditor Glen Gainer, Treasurer John Perdue and Letitia Chafin and incumbent Robin Davis for 12-year terms on the state Supreme Court.
