  • Pro-Liberty
Excerpt: "As a state delegate, my priorities will be to:
  • Preserve the religious rights of West Virginians from bullying by special interest groups.
  • Protect the right to defend your life and your family’s lives by supporting legislation that favors the 2nd Amendment.
  • Preserve the constitutional authority of the Attorney General of West Virginia to fight for your God-given rights.

  • Pro-Pursuit of Happiness
Excerpt: "I’ll fight to:
  • Protect West Virginia jobs, such as coal mining, natural gas drilling, and small business, from over-regulation by the government.
  • Reform the tax code of West Virginia to make sure you keep more of your rightly earned income.
  • Audit West Virginia agencies to limit corruption and make sure state officials aren’t misusing your money.
  • Focus on conservation instead of extreme environmentalism to protect the people’s natural resources, especially your waters.
  • Make sure West Virginia focuses on the proper functions of government by providing infrastructure, defending its people, and protecting the health and general welfare of the public instead of wasting it on unneeded pet, social programs.
  • Make sure that West Virginia supports the traditional family of a man, woman, and children as a means of pursuing happiness."
