We need to take care of our veterans. If I'm going to send you away and break you, I'm going to fix you when you come home.
— Richard Ojeda
We have to stop letting people come in here and make millionaires and billionaires of themselves off of West Virginia while West Virginia remains poor.
If you don't have a seat at the table, you're on the menu.
I've dealt with the Taliban and al Qaeda.
I will stand with the working-class citizens over all else.
West Virginia built this nation... we deserve respect.
All Americans deserve to see, speak to, and hear from our candidates. No county is insignificant, no community too small, and each person's vote is important.
If you believe in something, be willing to explain it.
Stand up for our sick. Stand up for our veterans. Stand up for the elderly. Protect things like Social Security. Stop allowing people to stick their hands in the cookie jar. Create opportunities for people who live in poverty to elevate themselves out of poverty with a hand up, not a hand out. That's what being a Democrat is!
I fight like a daggone wild man for labor unions.
I stand with the working-class citizens.
We got to fight to protect Social Security.
You can't take a coal miner making $95,000 a year, the only work in these parts where you can support a family without having to hold down three jobs at once... and tell them, 'You can make minimum wage,' or, 'We can give you job training for jobs that don't exist in West Virginia.'
Patrick Morrisey means nothing to me. He is a bootlicker. If shoe polish was poison, he'd be dead.
If all we've got is the dirt poor and the filthy rich, the dirt poor would eat the filthy rich.
I don't think I'm special.
I'm challenging the powers that be.
We must look for leaders who have exhibited a lifetime of service to their communities and have proven that their intention is to help people.
I cannot sit here and say I was beaten by Carol Miller. Because Carol Miller did not show up. She did not debate me. She basically avoided everything and just said, 'I'm with Trump, I'm with Trump.' And sadly, that's apparently a victory here in a place like southern West Virginia.
My military service has been attacked by people who have never picked up a rifle and manned a post.
I'm a combat soldier.
I am a Democrat because I believe in what the Democratic Party is supposed to be: taking care of our working-class citizens.
The Democratic Party is supposed to be the party that looks out for the working-class citizens.
I'd rather fight than eat.
I've got Republican people from all over that have contacted and said, 'Look, we're going to support you,' because I say what needs to be said.
Take care of your working-class citizens, and your working-class citizens will take care of you.
It's so easy to steal from the bottom 99 percent, but try stealing from the top one percent, and they put you under the jail.
The moment you start asking questions, you become public enemy number one.
We need candidates who are deeply rooted in their communities, working-class people who understand the struggles their neighbors face. That is the future of the Democratic Party.
I'm not scared of the president of the United States. And I'm not scared to stand up against the president of the United States.
I'm real. I'm not polished.
People are tired of the same ol' garbage. They want people that are willing to speak out, speak up, be open and honest with them.
