Get StartedWest Virginia’s biggest export has always been its wealth. First, it was timber being shipped out to build the cities. Then, it was coal to fuel the nation. Now, it’s our talented citizens leaving for better opportunities. We must reverse this by bringing tech, manufacturing, and service jobs into our state. Learn more

Stop corporations from selling our personal data. Anyone who uses a computer or cell phone leaves a digital trail online. It includes our demographics, buying habits, and personal data. This information is valuable and it’s being sold, but we don’t see any of the money. Instead, our personal data is used to deliver targeted news, encourage us to buy products, and even send us dangerous misinformation. Corporations must be regulated and forced to respect our privacy.

High-speed Internet and Cell Coverage Let’s make West Virginia competitive in jobs and education. An important key to that is increasing internet and cell coverage. But our beautiful geography makes building that infrastructure expensive. If we’d counted on for-profit corporations to bring electricity to the back country in the 1900s, some of us would still be living in the dark. That’s why government and private industry must partner, just like they did to bring light to the deepest holler. Learn more

A Balanced Budget On time, every time or Congress doesn’t get paid. The Constitution makes Congress responsible for managing the country’s finances, but it constantly fails. The last budget passed on time was in 1997. The last balanced budget was in 2001. I propose members of Congress be required to forfeit their pay when they don’t do their job. It’s time our elected officials lived by the same rules the rest of us do. Learn more
Tax Reform No loopholes for the rich at the expense of working folks. The graduated income tax system is broken beyond repair. We all need to pay the same tax rate, whether it’s for money earned at a job or from investments. If we do this without exception, the tax burden will be dramatically reduced for all of us.
