Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

My name is Jonathan Pinson. I have the privilege of carrying many titles-

Husband, Dad, Foster Father, Christian, Pastor, Conservative to name a few.

I am 100% PRO Life

I am 100% PRO Family

I am 100% PRO Faith

I am 100% PRO Gun

My desire is to help restore honesty and integrity into our political system!

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

We need delegates who will stand for conservative principles!We need delegates who will legislate with common sense!We need delegates who will labor to see our communities succeed

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Pro-Faith

I have a desire to stand up for faith and families all across our community. As a citizen and as a Pastor, I cannot stand by and allow individuals to harm family values and erode religious liberties and fail to act.

Freedom to worship and freedom to teach and preach God's Holy Word without censorship from any group, party, or man made laws must always remain.

Pro-Life

I stand against abortion. I believe the unborn have the right to life. However, WV women should have access to free birth control to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Abortion is not the answer. Our pregnancy resource centers must remain open with added locations.

Pro-Family

In May I will celebrate 10 years of marriage to my wife Amy. We have 3 biological children and are an open foster home. Currently we have a fourth child in our care whom we love dearly.

Pro- 2nd Amendment

I believe in the right to own and to bear arms for the safety of our homes, our Families and our community!

Pro Business and Economy

I am grateful for the many successful small businesses within our state. Business owners and entrepreneurs will always have my respect and support. I believe in self reliance. West Virginians are known for our work ethic. Our state and our workforce should draw businesses and corporations of every size.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

I am committed to serving in our state house of delegates with honesty, commitment, and integrity!

Every state besides Nebraska has two legislative chambers. What do you consider the most important differences between the legislative chambers in your state?

The Douse of Delegates should serve as a representation of the people from each district in West Virginia.

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?

I believe it is important for a political candidate to have experience in leader ship. The experience does not necessarily have to be related to government or politics.

I believe we have too many politicians in politics!

What do you perceive to be your state’s greatest challenges over the next decade?

Our state is facing a family crisis! With nearly 7000 children in foster care and thousands addicted to street drugs.

We must emphasize the importance of self-reliance and family development.
