Running for office was not a decision that came lightly, but I need to stand up for my fellow teachers, my students, and my community. I teach my students every day that they are responsible for their future - that they must stand up for themselves and others around them. If I do not stand up and try to enact change for our area, my words will mean nothing. District 44 is one of the most beautiful districts in our state. It includes all of Webster County, part of Nicholas, Randolph, and Upshur County. I want our community to be proud of our area, and I want them to have a voice for change.
- It is no secret every student in a West Virginia public school, as well as across our nation, deal with the pressures of real life in addition to their studies. We have students coming to us every day after experiencing extensive trauma, often due to neglect and abuse. Our teachers and school service personnel need to have intensive trauma-informed training. We need to have a trauma-informed counselor in EVERY school.
- I want to be able to write legislation that will provide more programs for anyone suffering from an addiction. Treatment programs need to be in every part of our state. Most facilities only offer a thirty-day program. I would like to see the minimum be sixty days. Once people have completed the recovery programs, I want to help them get back on their feet. I believe that there should be follow up programs that provide job coaching and job assistance.
- A school-age child should not "age out" of the system and be left homeless. I believe that putting money into programs and youth centers will help our state be even more successful in the long run. An eighteen-year-old who has been in foster care throughout their life needs structure after graduating. We need to provide them with youth homes that will teach them life skills to prepare them for the workforce or college; we need to help them find employment and housing.
