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?

I am running because I believe West Virginians deserve a government that works for the people who live here—not special interests or party leaders. I grew up in Ronceverte, left to build skills and perspective, and came home because this is where I want to put down roots and do the work. I’m focused on listening first, understanding what families are facing, and turning that into practical solutions that actually improve daily life in Greenbrier County.I believe in competence, accountability, and showing up. Before running for office, I’ve served my community through hands-on work—as a small business owner, caregiver, and community volunteer—where decisions have real consequences for families. I bring that same mindset to public service: be prepared, respect people’s time and tax dollars, and focus on what works rather than partisan talking points.This campaign is about strengthening West Virginia for the people who stayed and held the line, and for those who want to come home and build a life here. We can protect our communities while creating real opportunities—good jobs, affordable utilities, accessible healthcare, and reliable infrastructure—so people don’t have to leave to find stability. Progress should work with communities, not be imposed on them.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I’m passionate about policies that directly affect everyday life in West Virginia: protecting access to healthcare close to home, keeping utility and grocery costs affordable, strengthening rural infrastructure, supporting working families and caregivers, and ensuring our democracy remains accessible—especially for rural, elderly, disabled, and military voters. I’m especially focused on practical, people-first solutions that make it possible for West Virginians to stay, return, and thrive here.
