Polla McClellan Rumberg completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by McClellan Rumberg's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Far too many West Virginians live in poverty, lacking adequate resources to provide proper nutrition, housing, healthcare, education and transportation for their families. This is an unacceptable reality and must be addressed by lawmakers.
- Powerful corporate interests dominate the political landscape in WV fueling a lopsided emphasis on prosperity for the privileged few at the expense of the middle class and below. Championing the successes for the majority of West Virginians is no longer a political priority.
- Mountaineers, rugged pioneers that they are, have been stripped of their powerful proud and noble spirit. As this has happened these fine people have faced discouragement and despair. Many have compromised long-held values and resorted to illegal activity to support their families. The plight of our heroic people worsens with every successive generation. This problem but be addressed by our legislators in a revolutionary movement to reverse this downward trend through training and job creation, enhanced public transportation, accessible drug/alcohol recovery programs and community service initiatives.
