Now here’s a chance to be part of it.

Since we launched, the WASP has grown into something West Virginia genuinely didn’t have before - an independent, insider-focused source for political news, commentary, and analysis that doesn’t pull punches and doesn’t answer to anyone. Our readers are legislators, lobbyists, party officials, consultants, attorneys, and engaged citizens and voters who take West Virginia politics seriously.

In short: our readers are your people.

We’re opening a limited number of sponsorship slots to organizations and firms who want to put their name in front of this audience. This isn’t a banner ad on a website nobody reads. This is a placement inside a newsletter and articles that West Virginia political insiders actually open, actually read, and actually talk about.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:

- Your name or firm mentioned at the top of every edition we publish that month

- Social media shoutouts to our following on X

- Dedicated sponsored posts written for your organization and sent to our full subscriber list

- Association with the most dynamic independent political publication in West Virginia

Sponsorship slots start at $400/month. We keep the number of sponsors deliberately small - which means each sponsor gets real visibility, not a crowded ad wall.

If you’ve read the WASP long enough to be on this list, you already know the audience is real and the readership is engaged. Our average email open rate runs two to three times the national average for political newsletters. The people opening this email are the same people who will see your sponsorship.

We’re not asking you to take a leap of faith. You’re already here. You already know what this is.

If you’re interested, or if you know someone who should be, reply to this email or reach out directly at wvwasp@gmail.com. We’ll send you our full media kit and rate card and answer any questions you have.

Sponsorship availability is limited and fills on a first-come basis.

Thank you for reading the WASP. We’re grateful for every one of you and we’d be honored to have some of you as partners.

Stay sharp,

The WV WASP 🐝
