I am deeply honored and humbled by the overwhelming support shown to me by the voters of Berkeley and Jefferson Counties. Thank you for placing your trust and confidence in me once again to serve as your State Senator for the 16th District.

Over the past four years, we have worked together to deliver real results for the Eastern Panhandle — fighting for tax relief, investing in infrastructure, supporting law enforcement and first responders, strengthening our schools, and ensuring our region has a strong voice in Charleston. But our work is far from finished.

As we move forward, I remain committed to building a stronger future for our community by continuing to focus on economic growth, better roads and infrastructure, public safety, educational opportunity, and keeping West Virginia a place where families can thrive for generations to come.

Serving the people of Berkeley and Jefferson Counties has been one of the greatest honors of my life. I will continue to work tirelessly every single day to represent our values, protect our conservative principles, and deliver meaningful results for the people of the Eastern Panhandle.

Thank you again for your support, your encouragement, and your faith in our campaign. I am excited for what lies ahead, and I look forward to continuing this work together.

God bless you all, and God bless West Virginia!

Tomorrow is Election Day — Tuesday, May 12!

Polls will be open from 6:30AM to 7:30PM across West Virginia.

Summer and I will be there to vote, with Berkeley and Vandalia in tow! Both she and I remember going to the polls with our parents and grandparents as children, and we love the tradition of going as a family.

Serving as your State Senator for the last four years has been one of the greatest honors of my life. Together, we’ve accomplished so much for Berkeley and Jefferson Counties — from protecting the lives of the unborn, to fighting for tax relief and supporting our first responders, to investing in infrastructure, economic development, and creating more opportunities for our communities and families.

But there is still more work to be done. I remain committed to being a strong conservative voice for the Eastern Panhandle and continuing to deliver real results for the people I’m honored to represent.

Tomorrow, I humbly ask for your vote so we can keep moving our region and our state forward together.

Please make a plan to vote tomorrow, May 12, and encourage your friends and family to do the same!

It was great to join the Bolivar-Harpers Ferry Public Library this morning for the unveiling of their new covered porch — an exciting addition that will help expand opportunities for learning, connection, and community engagement right here in the Eastern Panhandle.

This new outdoor space will provide a safe and welcoming place for teens after school, a place for storytimes and community programs, and creates a gathering place for families and neighbors to connect.

I was proud to work alongside Senator Patricia Rucker to help secure LEDA funding for this important project and continue investment in community spaces that make a real difference for local families.

The Bolivar-Harpers Ferry Public Library continues to evolve to meet the needs of our community — offering educational resources, tutoring, workforce tools, meeting space, technology access, and countless services that help residents thrive.

I’m grateful for the dedicated library staff, volunteers, and community leaders who continue investing in spaces that strengthen our region and improve quality of life for everyone!

Grateful to have the support and endorsement of our Senate President, Randy Smith!

“Senator Jason Barrett is a strong and steady conservative voice in the West Virginia Senate.
Jason’s knowledge of our state budget and finances is truly unrivaled, and he has consistently led the charge on tax cuts and right-sizing government. This is exactly why I chose him to serve as Senate Finance Chairman—a role he has excelled at for the last two years.
Jason is a proven conservative champion who delivers results—not just for the Eastern Panhandle, but for all of West Virginia.
If you want a leader who will fight for your tax dollars, your values, and your future, Senator Jason Barrett is the clear choice.”

Proud to attend the ribbon cutting yesterday for the new Behavioral Medicine Clinic at WVU Medicine in Martinsburg!

This is a BIG win for the Eastern Panhandle.

For too long, families in Berkeley and Jefferson Counties have had to look outside our region for critical mental health services. All that changes now—This new clinic means more access, more support, and more hope for those who need it most.

This new facility represents a major step forward in expanding access to mental health and behavioral health services in the Eastern Panhandle—ensuring more individuals and families can receive the care they need close to home. Access to quality behavioral healthcare is critical to strengthening our communities, supporting recovery, and improving overall quality of life.

Projects like this show what’s possible when we invest in our people and prioritize healthcare right here in our region. I’m proud to support efforts that bring more resources, services, and opportunities to Berkeley and Jefferson Counties.

Thank you to everyone at WVU Medicine for your continued commitment to serving our community and making a real difference in the lives of West Virginians.

Big news for our Eastern Panhandle community!

Thank you to Governor Morrisey for signing SB749 into law — a bill I was proud to lead sponsor.

This bill creates a special economic development district that keeps our tax dollars working here at home — investing in our roads, infrastructure, and future — instead of sending that money to Charleston.

In this economic district, we’re bringing a world-class sports complex to Berkeley County — giving our local kids the chance to compete, grow, and succeed right here at home, while attracting visitors from across the East Coast.

Phase 1: $74 million indoor recreation center featuring basketball, volleyball, and pickleball courts
Phase 2: $56 million outdoor facility featuring soccer, football, baseball, and softball fields

This project also includes over $200 MILLION in private investment, including:
• New retail and small businesses
• Restaurants and hotels
• A WVU Medicine facility
• And major new job opportunities

This is how we grow our economy, support our families, and build a stronger future — right here in the Eastern Panhandle.

I’m proud to deliver REAL RESULTS for our community — and we’re just getting started.

The future is bright for Berkeley County and the entire Eastern Panhandle!

Senator Patricia Rucker and I make a great team for District 16 in the State Senate. I'm honored and grateful to have her support!

"It has been an honor to serve alongside Senator Jason Barrett. As Senate Finance Chairman, Jason has worked tirelessly to make sure the Eastern Panhandle has a strong voice in Charleston—and that our communities are never overlooked. His leadership in this role is critical.
Together, we’ve been able to push forward real, meaningful results for the people we represent. Jason doesn’t just talk about getting things done—he delivers. His relentless effort to advance locality pay for teachers and state employees moved the issue further than ever before. With Jason leading the charge, I’m confident we will finally see this make it across the finish line in the near future.
For proven leadership, vote Jason Barrett in the Republican Primary on May 12." -Senator Rucker
