Parkersburg – the Constitutional Party of West Virginia celebrates its new status as a recognized political party with access to a vote in the country of its average meeting on Saturday in Parker, but their focus was more recently on the future than the recent achievement.

“You are redirecting and retraining and reincarnating,” says S. Marshal Wilson, a former Republican state -owned Berkli County, whose display in the governor race in 2024 secured the party’s recognition. “We will have candidates up and down the newsletter” in 2026.

Wilson said that the party’s leadership principle is the belief that the government exists without a purpose other than providing people’s rights. He said they were planning to work to replace civil servants “who commit outrageous violations” against this principle.

“The party is not relevant to us,” Wilson said, adding that they would not rule out to help democratic, republican or libertarian candidates who share their opinion on the role of the government.

Joining Wilson at Rock Church on the 37th street for the event, they were the national party chairman Justin Magil, regional chairman Bob Gudrich, and State President Amy Lauli.

“Affording to a vote for a state party is quite huge,” Magil said. “Many people are desperately looking for something. And we have the opportunity to introduce ourselves as this thing. “

Magil said he wanted to see people not only move to the state level, such as Wilson, but also for school councils and the city government and the county.

“This is really the key to change, and this is really the level where the resistance should be,” he said.

Education councils can be returned against state and national authorities to tell schools what they can and cannot do, Magil said.

Gudrich said he was a Republican throughout his life, who had always voted for conservative candidates, but Gop “traded a principle of power.” He said he turned to the Constitutional Party in 2010 after a conversation with God and emphasized the importance of voting for people who will do what is right, not just those who can win.

About 40 people attended the event, including North Hills Glenn Newman, a member of the MOVCAC group.

“At 80, I never thought I would see the day when the back of the two party systems was broken. And it was, “Newman said.

Trisha Jackson, a former Djefferson County Commissioner, was also present for a state auditor as a Republican in 2024. Before losing in the main Meetings at the end of 2023 in a dispute on the process of appointing a vacancy for a committee.

Jackson said members of the Republican Party had a hand when she was removed from office.

“I am a fundamental person. I believe in the constitution. And I believe in the presentation of people, “she said. “I could no longer contact the Republican Party.”

The ladder began the second half of the summit, reading Paul Revere’s “Midnight Travel” by Henry Wodwsworth Longfellou. She said the country was standing on the verge of a new revolution, not with weapons, but with truth and ideals, and asked people to consider running for an office.

A stub said the party needs moral candidates who will maintain the principles and the original intention of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
