Joan C. Browning for House - Greenbrier County - 28th
Joan C. Browning, West Virginia’s 1961 Freedom Rider, is trying again to win one of two Greenbrier County seats in the West Virginia House of Delegates. She has been involved in progressive politics since she was 18 and in 1968, she was Treasurer of Georgian for Robert F. Kennedy.
This is the first elective office she has sought for herself. In her race for the WV House of Delegates two years ago, she won by two votes, and then narrowly lost by two votes. A full recount awarded the victory to her opponent by a slim 24 votes.
Two issues drive her to seek election to the House.
Saving some of the four West Virginians who die each week for lack of health insurance, and promoting economic stability by making available affordable health insurance for the self employed, farmers, and small businesses,” she said.
Promoting legislation to better stem the epidemic of abused children, women, Seniors, and disabled Mountaineers.
