In 2025, my opponent voted with the super majority in Charleston to strip local communities of all decision-making power when it comes to AI data centers and to send 70% of the revenue from these centers back to Charleston.

I will vote to restore community voices, keep data centers away from neighborhoods, and enforce strong protections for our water, electricity rates, and quality of life.

No child should be limited in life by the school district they were born into. In 2025, our House of Delegates paid $114,000 in taxpayer funds for a study to address our public school funding crisis and then enacted none of the study’s recommendations. This is unacceptable.

In Charleston I will be a voice for students and families by advocating for competitive teacher pay, increased resources for special education, and accountability with our tax dollars.

I’ve worked odd jobs alongside my main employment for most of my adult life. I know what it’s like to come home exhausted and still worry about affording groceries.

In Charleston I will advocate for working West Virginians by promoting affordable home construction and childcare access, addressing rising utility costs, making sure our tax policy serves the average person, and protecting workers’ rights to advocate for better pay and working conditions. 

West Virginians of all political stripes no longer trust our elected officials to work for us.

As your representative, I will work hard to restore trust by holding regular town halls, responding to constituent emails and phone calls, staying free of corporate dollars, and reflecting my neighbors’ values and priorities in Charleston, not those of special interests.

I am the only one of my friends from childhood who calls West Virginia home today. I’ve heard the same from too many others. In Charleston, I will work to invest in our young people through job training, smart development, and recreation opportunities for people of all ages. We all benefit when our young people are able to stay, work, and raise their families here.

No other state loses more of its residents to addiction than West Virginia. Yet we are the only state to have a moratorium on new methadone clinics, a proven addiction treatment. We owe it to our communities to pursue evidence-based treatment and investment to solve our state’s addiction problem. Our communities are safer and our economies are stronger when our neighbors are free of addiction.
