I am a New Martinsville native, 2016 graduate of Magnolia High School, and 2020 graduate of West Liberty University. I grew up in a working class family in West Virginia and witnessed firsthand how our systems fail working class people. I have been involved with the Mountain Party of West Virginia since 2020 and currently serve as Vice Chair.
  • Workers’ Rights: We need to do more to protect the rights of our workers. We need to protect health and safety regulations in our workplaces, create good union jobs, and invest in worker cooperatives.
  • Education: Our educators deserve at least a $20,000 raise, a permanent fix to PEIA, and increased benefits. We should reform the state BOE to make it elected rather than appointed by bought-and-paid-for politicians. We need to invest in our students and prioritize their education, not fear-monger in order to get votes.
  • Youth: We need to increase youth representation in our society. Youth advisory councils comprised of and elected by our youth should be established at all levels of government.

2. Protecting our environment and wildlife.
3. Empowering workers and protecting labor rights.

4. Fighting against corporate control of our society.
