| Collapse all
- West Virginians can’t fully live the American dream without a strong and growing economy. Sawyer is committed to a balanced, common-sense plan that lowers taxes for hardworking families and small businesses while raising the minimum wage so paychecks keep up with the cost of living. This two-pronged approach will make the Mountain State more attractive to new employers and help bring back the jobs we’ve lost. A thriving economy means more opportunity, stronger communities, and—by giving people real paths to success—less crime and safer neighborhoods for everyone.
- Sawyer is committed to making Morgantown—and all of Monongalia County—a safer place to live, work, and raise a family. His plan starts with empowering law enforcement: providing officers with the resources and support they need while ensuring laws are fairly and consistently enforced. Sawyer will work to end illegal camping on public property, addressing problems at their source while connecting those in need with appropriate services. One of his top priorities is ensuring that women and children can move about our community without fear of violence or crime. To protect our youngest generations, Sawyer will introduce legislation to increase police presence in schools and create a job program for retired police officers and military vets.
- Sawyer wants to keep biological men out of women's sports and bathrooms. He believes that women's spaces should be protected.
