West issued the following statement regarding his bid for office:

I am running to give a social advocacy and workforce development voice to the Ohio General Assembly. The State House is full of lawyers, insurance agents and businessmen who create legislation for the business and insurance industry and are not astute to the needs of the everyday citizen and community organizations. I desire to collaborate and complement the local State officials who have backgrounds in law, business and insurance and bring a local and social perspective that serves to create a well-rounded and informed regional approach and solutions for our district and state.
