When our hospitals close and our neighbors lose care, it’s not politics — it’s people’s lives. We deserve leaders who’ll fight for healthcare as a human right, not a privilege for the wealthy few. #WV01 #HealthcareForAll #AppalachiaStrong

When power tries to silence you, the most radical act you can take is to record the truth. This chalk, this timestamp, is my line in the sand. I won’t be quiet. I won’t be scared. And I won’t stop fighting for our kids, communities, and right to speak freely in the statehouse that belongs to us.

Instead, I did the most badass thing I’ve ever done. I wrote my own timestamp — right there on the sidewalk, in front of the man who assaulted me. I documented it. I claimed it. I made sure no one could erase what happened.

This is what resistance looks like. On October 1st, I stood on the steps of our State Capitol to protest the closure of yet another public school. I was peacefully writing with chalk when a Capitol Police officer put his hands on me — trying to silence me, intimidate me, and make me back down.

We’ve got a lot of work ahead, but nights like this give me hope and remind me how much heart and grit our people have. It's time to take our country back! 💙 #WV01 #BritForWV #RooseveltKennedyDinner #WVDems

It was great to connect with so many folks who care deeply about our state’s future — teachers, veterans, small business owners, and community leaders from every corner of West Virginia.

After a long day of volunteering and campaigning across the district, I wrapped things up at the Roosevelt Kennedy Dinner with the West Virginia Democratic Party.

Finally, I attended the Roosevelt Kennedy Dinner with the WV Democratic Party, a great way to end a long, productive weekend surrounded by people who care deeply about the future of our state. We’re out here every day, serving, organizing, & listening. Because real change starts with the people.

Saturday began with an organizing meeting alongside the amazing folks at United Women of WV, followed by an inspiring “Your Feminist Friend” open house. Networked with some amazing people, including a former State Senator, & talk about building power, protecting our rights, & lifting each other up.

It’s been a busy — and beautiful — weekend across the district! 💙 Friday, I had the honor of serving twice — first at a food drive in Man, and later that evening helping folks on the streets of Logan. Here's one thing I know for sure: no matter where I go, West Virginians show up for each other.

No one should be silenced for protesting. No one should be terrorized in their home. And no one should fear their own government. This is our country—and it’s time we take it back.

Britta Aguirre for West Virginia @britforwv.bsky.social · 06/10/2025
From Chicago to Charleston, the message is the same: speak up, and they’ll try to shut you down. But I won’t back down. I’m running for Congress because this is the line in the sand. If we don’t defend our rights now, there won’t be any left to defend.

Britta Aguirre for West Virginia @britforwv.bsky.social · 06/10/2025
And this isn’t just happening in big cities. Just days ago, I was outside our State Capitol in Charleston, peacefully protesting the closure of a public school when Capitol Police shoved me, tried to scare me into silence, and refused to even give their badge numbers.

Last week, armed federal agents rappelled from a helicopter in the middle of the night and raided a Chicago apartment building. They went door to door, detaining U.S. citizens, and separating parents from their children—all under the cover of darkness. This is Trump’s fascist America.

✊ Stand with me. Stand up for education. Stand up for our rights. Refuse to be silenced. #WVPolitics #SavePublicSchools #AccountabilityNow #StandUpWV

Britta Aguirre for West Virginia @britforwv.bsky.social · 02/10/2025
But let me be clear: I will not be intimidated. I will not be silenced. My resolve is only stronger. If anything, this moment proves exactly why we need leaders who will fight back against abuse of power, defend our freedoms, and demand a better future for West Virginia families.

Britta Aguirre for West Virginia @britforwv.bsky.social · 02/10/2025
This should alarm every single one of us. If it can happen to me, a candidate for Congress, it can happen to any ordinary citizen standing up for their rights. This is unacceptable, and it raises serious questions about accountability.

Britta Aguirre for West Virginia @britforwv.bsky.social · 02/10/2025
All I was doing was writing messages in chalk — a long-standing, peaceful way for West Virginians to make our voices heard. Instead of respecting that right, officers responded with force and intimidation.

Yesterday, while peacefully protesting for stronger support of public education at our State Capitol, I was shoved backwards, had my phone ripped from my hand, and was threatened with arrest by a West Virginia Capitol Police officer.

We’re kicking a** on the campaign trail and standing strong on the protest front lines. We’re showing MAGA extremists that they can’t write off West Virginia anymore. We’re here, we’re standing tall, and we’re ready for new leadership.

Britta Aguirre for West Virginia @britforwv.bsky.social · 30/09/2025
There’s no denying it’s been a hard few weeks. We are experiencing political violence, free speech crackdowns, and a massive famine in Gaza. But I’ve got faith. Faith in God, faith in our volunteer team, and faith in y’all that together, we can make a change.

Britta Aguirre for West Virginia @britforwv.bsky.social · 17/09/2025
As an activist and protestor, I know what’s coming: a crackdown on anyone who speaks truth to power. This is a blaring fascist alarm bell. I won’t stay quiet. I’ll fight back. Will you stand with me? 👉 rebrand.ly/hypocrites

🚨 Pressuring companies to fire employees for online comments 🚨 WaPo firing their last Black woman columnist for quoting Kirk 🚨 Rubio pushing a bill to revoke citizens’ passports over speech Kirk defended free speech—but MAGA doesn’t care. They’ll use this moment to silence US.

Britta Aguirre for West Virginia @britforwv.bsky.social · 17/09/2025
Last week, I was horrified to learn of Charlie Kirk’s murder. No matter your politics, we should NEVER accept political violence. But look at how Trump & his allies are exploiting tragedy 👇

I also had the honor of attending the Greenbrier County Democratic Executive Committee meeting and the No One Asked You event on reproductive health. It was a joy to see so many friends and neighbors—thank you all for the warm welcome.

Last week I spent two days traveling across our district, visiting Wyoming, Mercer, Summers, Raleigh, and Greenbrier counties. Along the way I was grateful to spend time with family, visit family property, and connect with constituents.

I’m fighting to bring Washington’s attention—and its resources—back home where they belong. Together, we can build a West Virginia where every neighbor has dignity, every family has healthcare, and every community has a future.

Britta Aguirre for West Virginia @britforwv.bsky.social · 15/09/2025
Our people don’t need empty promises, we need real help. Open hospitals. Funded treatment centers. Investments that create opportunity across all of WV. Carol Miller and Donald Trump have made careers out of profiting from our pain and leaving us behind.

Britta Aguirre for West Virginia @britforwv.bsky.social · 15/09/2025
Let’s build a West Virginia where no one gets left behind. Born & raised in Logan County, I’ve sat with neighbors losing loved ones to addiction, veterans broken from wars, & kids aging out of foster care. I carry Narcan, comfort grieving mothers, & fight for folks the system abandons.

Britta Aguirre for West Virginia @britforwv.bsky.social · 13/09/2025
Carol Miller is worth over $15 million, much of it tied to companies that flooded our communities with opioids. I’ll never profit from our people’s pain—I’ll fight for our right to heal and thrive.

Britta Aguirre for West Virginia @britforwv.bsky.social · 13/09/2025
Our hospitals are at risk of shutting down because of Trump’s Medicaid cuts. Facilities like these are often the difference between life and death. Appalachians deserve leaders who fight to keep us alive, not leave us behind.

Britta Aguirre for West Virginia @britforwv.bsky.social · 13/09/2025
I’ve spent my life in Logan County helping people heal from addiction and trauma. I carry Narcan everywhere I go. I’ve held space for families planning funerals for their children. That’s why this race is personal—for me and for all of us.

Britta Aguirre for West Virginia @britforwv.bsky.social · 11/09/2025
Our communities deserve leaders who will stand up to corporate abuse & fight for people, not politicians who create more trauma by scapegoating the vulnerable. Instead of creating more trauma, let’s start healing it. That’s why I’m running for Congress: to put West Virginians first.

Britta Aguirre for West Virginia @britforwv.bsky.social · 11/09/2025
That’s why it angers me to see Governor Morrissey scapegoat immigrants while profiting from Big Pharma—lobbying for drug companies, cutting opioid deals, keeping pharma ties, and selling care facilities to corporations.

Britta Aguirre for West Virginia @britforwv.bsky.social · 11/09/2025
For years I’ve sat with West Virginians struggling with addiction—mothers worried sick about their kids, neighbors fighting for their lives, families torn apart by a crisis they never asked for. I know the human cost because I’ve lived it alongside them.

Britta Aguirre for West Virginia @britforwv.bsky.social · 09/09/2025
The women who came forward deserve justice and leaders who will stand with them, not shield the men who harmed them. This fight is personal. I’m running for Congress to break the cycle of silence and protect women, not predators. Join me to send Carol Miller packing: rebrand.ly/epstein

Carol Miller had a choice: stand with Epstein’s victims or protect predators in power. She chose silence. As a mother and a fighter, I’ll never cover for abusers or sell out survivors for political clout.

Britta Aguirre for West Virginia @britforwv.bsky.social · 09/09/2025
I’ve buried too many neighbors to stay quiet. Carol Miller chose profit over people. I’m running for Congress and will choose treatment, healthcare, and dignity for West Virginia.

Britta Aguirre for West Virginia @britforwv.bsky.social · 09/09/2025
Carol Miller profits off opioids while calling our most vulnerable “criminals.” I’ve buried too many neighbors to stay silent. In Congress, I’ll fight for treatment, healthcare, and dignity for every West Virginian.

Britta Aguirre for West Virginia @britforwv.bsky.social · 09/09/2025
Carol Miller cashes in on opioids while West Virginians suffer. I’ll fight for treatment, healthcare, and dignity for every neighbor. Enough corruption. It’s time to heal. Join me at britforwv.com.

I traveled from WV to DC because when Trump calls in the National Guard against his own people, that’s not “law and order”—that’s tyranny. Our neighbors, our families, our communities are not pawns in a political stunt. We deserve leaders who protect our freedoms, not attack them. #StandwithDC

This endorsement proves we’re building something real—but the fight to end genocide is far from over. We’re just getting started. #TrackAIPAC #WVPolitics #NoWarMachine

Britta Aguirre for West Virginia @britforwv.bsky.social · 05/09/2025
Here’s the difference: Miller answers to billionaires, party bosses, and corporations. I answer to the working-class West Virginians I grew up with, worked alongside, and continue fighting for every single day.

Britta Aguirre for West Virginia @britforwv.bsky.social · 05/09/2025
I made a promise when I launched this campaign: I’ll never take a dime from AIPAC or the war machine lobby that funds genocide in Gaza. Today I’m proud to share some big news—Track AIPAC has endorsed me in my race against Israel-First Rep. Carol Miller.

I’ll fight in Congress to make sure no miner, no widow, no child is left behind, and defend our right to unionize with everything I have. Yesterday, we remembered. Tomorrow, we organize.

Britta Aguirre for West Virginia @britforwv.bsky.social · 03/09/2025
Yet today: 👉 Black lung is at its highest level in decades. 👉 Families wait years for claims. 👉 Coal companies dodge responsibility. And Carol Miller? She voted NO on the coal tax that funds the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund. She voted no on our miners. No on our families.

Britta Aguirre for West Virginia @britforwv.bsky.social · 03/09/2025
This Labor Day, we remembered the Battle of Blair Mountain — when West Virginia coal miners fought for the right to unionize. My family ran the boarding house where Mother Jones stayed. Their spirit of resistance is in my blood.
