SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.Va. - Saying more needs to be done to help the environment, examine the U.S. government and help veterans who are being "shredded inside" from combat, U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller announced his re-election bid Sunday afternoon at Shepherd University.
Rockefeller, 70, made the announcement with his wife, Sharon, their children and grandchildren at his side.
This was Rockefeller's fourth re-election announcement over the weekend. He also made an announcement Friday night in Beckley, W.Va. , and on Saturday in Charleston W.Va., and Fairmont, W.Va., according to a staff member.
About 220 people responded to invitations to hear Rockefeller announce his candidacy for a fifth, six-year term at 2:15 p.m. in the Storer Ballroom at Shepherd's student center.
