Common sense won today!

Today's U.S. Supreme Court decision is a major victory for fairness in girls' and women's sports. By upholding West Virginia's Save Women's Sports Act, the Court affirmed that states have the authority to protect opportunities for female athletes and preserve the integrity of women's competition.

As a father to a little girl, I was proud to vote for this legislation because I believe every girl deserves a level playing field and the opportunity to compete on equal terms. Protecting women's sports has never been about politics—it's about fairness, safety, and preserving the opportunities generations of women have fought to earn.

I will continue standing up for West Virginia's students, families, and athletes, and I remain committed to protecting girls' and women's sports.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to uphold West Virginia and Idaho laws requiring student-athletes to compete based on biological s*x at birth.

I am proud to support Senate President Randy Smith for re-election as President of the West Virginia Senate.

For the past two years, I have been honored to serve as Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee on President Smith's leadership team. I have seen firsthand his commitment to conservative principles, fiscal responsibility, and putting the people of West Virginia first.

Randy Smith is a proven conservative leader who has helped guide the Senate through important decisions while maintaining a focus on accountability and common-sense governance.

West Virginia has benefited from President Smith's experience, vision, and dedication to public service. I believe now is the time for our Republican Senate Caucus to unite behind President Smith so we can continue moving our state forward.

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!

Jason is a proven conservative champion who delivers results—not just for the Eastern Panhandle, but for all of West Virginia.
