The Primary is over but we still have to get through the General Election. I am unopposed as of right now. I have been busy getting ready to serve the people of District 8. Between now and January, there is so much groundwork to be laid. If you have a meeting or event that you would like me to speak at, please contact me as soon as possible. I would love to do it if my schedule permits. If you have specific ideas on how we can make the District better, message me!

Thank you so much!

Bring it home

“West Virginia doesn’t need fake flavor from overseas when the mountains already raised generations on real food, real farms, and real hard work. 🌄🛻

From fresh garden tomatoes and homemade biscuits to local beef, ramps, honey, and Appalachian cooking — this state was feeding families long before shipping containers showed up. 🇺🇸

Every dollar spent at a local farm stand, small-town diner, roadside market, or family-owned store keeps West Virginia strong. It helps local farmers stay on their land, keeps traditions alive, and supports the people who still wave at strangers on country roads.

West Virginia isn’t just a place. It’s front porch dinners. Church cookouts. County fairs. Mason jar sweet tea. And grandparents who can somehow grow enough food to survive 3 winters and feed the whole neighborhood. 😂

Support local. Buy local. Protect Appalachian pride. 💙💛”

Happy Mothers Day to all of you that have earned that Title! No important role in this whole world than Mom. The world could do without CEO’s, Presidents, Chairman’s, blah, blah, blah. But we are helpless without Mom’s. I thank you for the countless sacrifices that you have made for your families ❤️. Happy Mother’s Day!

Attended the P2P rail trail meeting tonight. P2P stands for Parkersburg to Pittsburgh rail trail. The Rail Trail running through Doddridge County is an under utilized resource in our County. We need to use it to add to our economic footprint.

I just received a message that touched my heart deeply. A person that I have known and respected for a long time told me that they had been an Independent for many years and that they had registered as a Republican just so that they could vote for me ❤️. It is humbling to think that someone would go out of their way like that because they believe in me. I don’t know if I will be elected or not, I have been praying a lot for guidance if I am elected to make a difference for our people. We have the best people and they deserve the best from their elected Government. I will do the best that I know how if the people pick me.
