CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Just days after Delegate Mel Kessler lost to Governor Joe Manchin in the democrat primary election, he's ready to endorse republican Russ Weeks for Governor.
Kessler says "I'm going to financially support him. Verbally support him. If he needs somebody to ride up east or north with him, I will support him. If he doesn't want me there, he can borrow my car. That's how supportive I am of him. Regardless of how nice the governor calls and talks to me, there's corruption going on that needs cleaned up."
Weeks says he is grateful for Kessler's backing.
He also says "Delegate Kessler will not be the only Democrat supporting my campaign's effort to bring integrity and accountability back to state government."
Weeks wants to debate Manchin seven times across the state. A Manchin spokesperson says Manchin plans to go head to head with Weeks, but they haven't ironed out the details yet.
The General Election is set for November 4th.

Delegate Kessler is exactly the kind of people WV needs, that has what it takes to step up to Crouption in high places. We can't get any worse than the governor and others we have now.. Hang in there Russ anyone that cares about what is right will be there behind you.

Thank you Mr. Kessler for highlighting the corruption of Governor Manchin. West Virginians will still vote for him because he is a Democrat and everyone is mad at Bush. Joe Manchin is a closet republican folks. Wake up!
