I was raised in Falling Waters West Virginia for as long as I can remember. I am currently a 20 year old going to school at WVU. I went to middle school and high school in Spring Mills and found a passion in serving the community through JROTC. While in JROTC I served in various leadership positions. I accumulated over 300 services hours over my four years of high school while working a part time job at a local grocery store. Staying busy while serving the community was something I learned I loved. This led me to continue my journey to WVU to study political science to further my education to be able to represent District 94. It has always been a dream of mine to serve the community, West Virginia, and eventually the country. I have told people I wanted to be president since I was 8 years old. My first stop is District 94 as a Delegate serving the community and I hope it doesn't stop there!
- Providing More resources for mental health care
- Putting the Power of Education back into the hands of the parents
- Protecting the rights and liberties of the Constitution
Mental Health, Protecting the 2nd Amendment, Charter Schools, Parent empowerment in their children's education, cutting taxes and eliminating wasteful spending, and for the choice to get vaccinated.
Politically I have always looked up to Ronald Reagan as he was a great leader, speaker, and person all around. Locally I have looked up to teachers I have and I also have looked up to John Overington as a local house of Delegates member my whole life. He stood up for his community and was always there to speak with people. I received some awards from him in school as well, as he was very involved in the community.
I believe that people need to be open to talking to their people and listening to their people. I think that a elected official should be a phone call away. They should be morally sound and have the interest of their people in mind first. A person with integrity is the best quality in an elected official.
I want to leave a legacy in which people looked back and said that I have helped others my whole life and that I made an impact in public policy.
I was born just before 9/11 and was only a couple of months old and don't remember it, but I always watched the news as a kid and remember hearing about the financial crash in 2008 and was only about 7 or 8 at the time.
My first job I had was not long ago, as I am only 20 years old. I worked in a plant nursey and then worked in a grocery store. I am continuing to work at a grocery store and love working with people.
My favorite book is the Bible.
I believe that the governor and state legislature should have a great communication channel. Communication is key to getting things done, especially in a short session in West Virginia.
I believe the greatest challenges for the state will be getting young people to come to the state and having jobs will be an important part of that.
I think a unicameral state legislature would be a bad thing because of the fact that it would likely cause policy to be pushed through to quickly and would require things to not be fully thought through.
I believe that it can be useful, but is something we really shouldn't consider. The main things is looking at candidates to see if they know what they are talking about and if they can represent the people well.
Absolutely! Building relationship with people is important in policy making. This would often lead to compromise and a better more complete policy outcome.
I think the process we have now is good, but I believe that we should have a much more open conversation about the districts and the people should be more involved in the process.
I would love to be apart of the education committee. This is because I feel I could provide valuable information and experience due to getting out of school not that long ago.
I would to model myself after John Overington, due to the fact that he was an excellent role model.
In the future I would love to work my way up to prove I can represent more and more people. Since I was 8 I have always said I wanted to be President of the United States one day, and I am still committed to that.
I think for me, I have heard many stories about people. Working in a local grocery store I have heard a lot of good and bad. Though for me seeing people not be able to afford groceries or not getting something because they can't afford it makes me want to work to help the lives of everyone.
I believe there should be some oversight, but it should not slow down the process a lot as it needs to be quick and effective.
I absolutely believe that compromise is important to the making policymaking. Negotiating and compromise is key to making sure policy gets passed and is done so correctly to represent the best interest of all.
