Priority Issues:

We will solve our State's problems best by creating jobs, increasing revenues, and building a robust economy. As Secretary of State, I will help by:

1. Promoting healthy democracy through fair elections. I will work with County Clerks to clean up voter rolls and improve our election process. Fair elections encourage voter participation, and participation promotes faith in government.

2. Continually improving the process to register new businesses in WV. When elections are fair and people have faith in government, they invest in businesses, create jobs, and grow the economy. Predictable, transparent WV government increases job growth and business investment within the State.

West Virginia is ready for new leadership and new ideas. I bring a life of professional service and experience from around the globe to West Virginia. As a father, husband, Veteran, and sixth generation West Virginian, I'll work hard every day to improve election fairness, promote transparent government, and increase business investment to create jobs.

That's why I say

A Better West Virginia Starts Here!

I would appreciate your vote and support.
