errick Evans, a January 6 political prisoner and former District 19 West Virginia Delegate, announced his official run for U.S. House of Representatives on Friday, two years after events on January 6th, 2021.
“One month ago I came to you with my story. I launched an exploratory committee for Congress, the feed back and poll results have been amazing, and with that, I’m thrilled to say, that I, Derrick Evans am officially running for a seat in the United States House of Representatives,” Evans said in a video statement published on Friday.
“Today is a day to celebrate. But for me, that hasn’t always been the case when it comes January 6th. Last year, it was a day of reflection, thinking about my fellow J6er’s and the miscarriage of Justice at the hands of our government. I was fearful over my pending prison sentence,” Evans said. “[I was] scared to miss precious time with my family. But despite that uncertainty, my resolve never waned. I knew I still had the support from the people of West Virginia and American Patriots from all across the country.”
Today, I am officially announcing my campaign for the United States House of Representatives.
