Campaign themes

2016

Wagoner's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“

On Government

  • My belief is that the three primary prerogatives of any elected official are: (1) preserve our state and federal constitutions; (2) to protect our hard earned tax dollars; and (3) only involve the government in private matters when absolutely necessary. If a proposed bill or law doesn’t further these three goals, it won’t get my vote. My opponents can’t say the same because either (a) their records demonstrate otherwise; or (b) they are promising otherwise on the campaign trail.

On The Right To Keep & Bear Arms

  • I believe that the Federal and State Constitutions are sacrosanct and, until amended, the law of the land. Thus, I believe that the right to keep and bear arms is plainly written and unequivocal. In other words, you have an absolute right to bear arms. If elected, I will ensure that constitutional carry is continued and should a Democrat in Washington come for your guns, I will use every power of my office to resist their illegal overreach.

On Marijuana/Cannabis

  • I believe that cannabis or marijuana should be legal for adults over the age of 18 for either medicinal or recreational purposes. In general, I do not believe that the federal, state, or local government have any right to tell adults what plants they can, or cannot ingest. We would all agree that it would be absurd for the government to outlaw strawberries, why is the arbitrary prohibition of marijuana any different?

On The Drug Epidemic

  • West Virginia, and the Nation, are facing an unprecedented drug epidemic. The problem is social and medical in nature and the solution must come from our society, social institutions and our health care professionals. The solution lies in reducing the conditions that allow-or encourage- addiction and enabling those addicted to seek help. It does not lie in locking up addicts or those that facilitate the need we have created.

On Marriage Equality

  • My position on marriage is that consenting adults have the right to marry whomever they so choose in whatever manner they choose. Marriage is at root a religious institution and the government has no right whatsoever to define what constitutes marriage, or does not. To the extent that the government confers certain benefits on married couples, it must confer the same benefits on same sex couples as others.[1]
