My wife and I love living in the state of West Virginia and are proud to call it our home. We want our children, and eventually our grandchildren, to grow up and love West Virginia and all it has to offer. So many of our friends have left over the years, and now their children are leaving too. And it's tough to watch. Our population has been steadily declining for years and we are losing good people. This trend needs to stop, which is why I decided to run for the Delegate in 78.
As a licensed professional engineer, I've had years of training and experience studying and correcting problems and I believe I can make a difference in Charleston.
It's heartbreaking to know that local children had to sit in church parking lots during the winter to get internet access from school bus hot spots. In addition to the broadband issue, parts of our state do not even have clean drinking water or reliable roads to access local communities.
- Our roads are crumbling and 30% of our population doesn't have reliable broadband access. Over 50% of our citizens rely on ground water for domestic needs. We must focus on fixing these problems if we are going to grow into the future.
- In the last decade West Virginia has seen a population decline of 3.3%, more than any other State in the US. We can not continue to export people because what we are sending away is the future of West Virginia. Investment in infrastructure will help attract sustainable jobs. Those jobs will be the key to retaining our youth.
- Our public teachers are burdened with many tasks and issues beyond teaching our children. We need to make steps toward lightening this load so they can get back to teaching. Additionally, education choice is essential. Children and families have many different needs, and we need to accommodate those with suitable options.
Ground beef.
