| 1. What inspired you to run for public office, and what positive changes do you hope to bring to your district/state if elected? | The role that my primary opponent, Senator Mike Maroney, has played in aiding the tyranny that our nation experienced during the pandemic and his support of the radical left's woke agenda have inspired me to step up and challenge him on behalf of my fellow West Virginians. Maroney is the Chair of the Health Senate Committee and refuses to put any medical or religious freedom legislation on the agenda. My opponent also voted to allow men to play in women's sports and shower in their locker rooms. He also co-authored an amendment to allow a loophole for transgender drugs to be given to children that will chemically castrate them. As our next state senator, I will fight to champion West Virginia values by fighting back against the radical left and their woke culture. I will introduce legislation that will make school choice available to every student and audit the entire public school budget. West Virginia currently spends the 23rd most per student on education and ranks dead last in the country year after year. I will also introduce medical freedom legislation that will end all vaccine mandates and schedules. We must ensure that no one is denied employment, access to an education, or the opportunity of the American Dream for the medical decisions that they make. |
| 2. Please identify the top three critical issues facing your state, and how do you envision solving them to benefit the communities in your state? | 1) Job creation: West Virginia needs more jobs to be able to keep our youth here at home. We can accomplish this by eliminating income taxes and by eliminating taxes on inventory, equipment, and machinery. West Virginia also needs to revamp vocational and trade school training to help our children graduate with the skills needed to meet the market demands of a growing economy. 2) Protecting our children: As I mentioned before, West Virginia has a loophole that my opponent created that allows for the distribution of transgender drugs to children. I will introduce legislation to close the loophole created by my primary opponent and ban transgender drugs from being used on children. 3) West Virginia energy: West Virginia is blessed with an abundance of coal, oil, and gas. These industries are our state's largest economic drivers. We have over 100,000 of these jobs, and they support 600,000 to 700,000 more in our state's economy. The liberals and RINOs, like my opponent, are using tax dollars that came from the blood, sweat, and tears of coal, oil, and gas workers and are giving them to pro-ESG and pro-DEI woke corporations such as Form Energy. This corporation's largest investors are Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and the CCP. As Senator, I will fight to end this corporate welfare and ensure that West Virginia only does business with companies that reflect our family values. |
