CHARLOTTE PRITT

MORE LEGISLATIVE EXPERIENCE THAN ALL THE 2016 CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR COMBINED

Charlotte Pritt knows first-hand that determination and character are the foundation for West Virginia's working families. The daughter of a retired coal miner, Charlotte worked her way through Marshall University in Huntington to earn both undergraduate and master's degrees in English.
She began her career as a high school English teacher in the Kanawha County school system and later joined the administration as Director of Communications. In 1980, the West Virginia College of Graduate Studies hired her as the Director of the West Virginia Writing Project, a program training teachers how to teach writing. Through these experiences she became aware of a pressing problem in West Virginia: children were too hungry to learn. Charlotte believed that child poverty was unacceptable in a country and state so richly bless­ed with resources. That's how her political career began.
