Civil Rights

You need an ID to vote. Election day should be made a federal holiday, and employers should be required to make reasonable accommodations for their employees to vote. Mail-in ballots and early voting rights will be reserved exclusively for those who qualify for these privileges, i.e., the elderly, terminally ill, etc. The vast majority of votes will be cast in person on Election Day and Election Day alone via paper ballots.

It should be illegal for any employer to retaliate against workers for their political views and/or activism outside of the workplace. Learn more

Education

I will actively push for a return to a classical curriculum for public schools. Trade and vocational schools will be given a greater emphasis, and children should be encouraged to explore these options in addition to the option of going to college. Learn more

Environment / Energy

Coal and natural gas operations should be in full force as we put West Virginians to work and bring people back to our state. Learn more

Healthcare

Healthcare facilities and hospitals should be required to have transparent pricing, and public funds should be made available to help subsidize unnecessarily overwhelming costs for West Virginians. Learn more

Immigration

I believe that America is in desperate need of a full immigration moratorium for a minimum of 10 years. During this time, our border needs to be strengthened, illegal immigrants in prison need to be immediately deported, and 99% of applications for visas and amnesty appeals will be explicitly denied. Existing visas will be restamped with a three-month expiration date. Any one here illegally needs to be deported immediately. Learn more
