Shrewsbury for U.S. Senate US Inactive

SHREWSBURY FOR SENATE

Help elect a working-class Senator >>

Ad copy

My name is Zach Shrewsbury. As a Marine, I proudly lived by the values of honor, courage and commitment — and I still do today. After serving my country, I returned home to West Virginia to take care of my grandmother and began organizing in local communities. I have orchestrated flood relief drives, fed the houseless, participated in harm reduction training, rallied for affordable accessible healthcare, mobilized West Virginians to stand up to the harmful extractive industry and worked as a climate justice organizer for a progressive veterans organization. Today, I am fighting the greatest battle of my life—as a candidate for the U.S. Senate. With Senator Manchin announcing his retirement, I am the most electable candidate with popular support who can protect the seat and ensure Democrats retain a majority in the Senate. I am unapologetic about my support for people-first policies, human rights for all, and am determined to serve not only West Virginians but all people who made this country their home with integrity and respect and without the influence of corporate interests.
