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?

Promoting a Clean West Virginia -- My son was born days after the WV Water Crisis. No one should have to go any length of time without clean water because of government bowing down to coal executives. Diversifying our Economy -- I had to start my own businesses due to the lack of opportunity in our state. We deserve better.Building Strong Communities -- We are only as strong as our most vulnerable populations.
