I was born and raised in Morgantown, WV. I am 20 years old and I work in the oil and gas industry. I have been involved with politics since 2016. I worked on a congressional campaign, door knocked for President Trump, involved with Young Republicans, and I am a member of my local republican executive committee. I am running to bring a younger voice to the House and be the voice for people who are tired of what is happening with our country right now.
- I believe there should be no mandates whatsoever. You should not lose your job because you do not want the vaccine. Your children should not be required to wear a mask or get the vaccine to go to public school. The parents should make the choice based on what they think is best.
- The second amendment is very important. In West Virginia we have constitutional carry and we need to keep it that way. West Virginia leads the way in the country with the second amendment and I want to make sure nothing changes that.
- Education is crucial for our future. I believe that public education needs changed. Kids should be learning life skills instead of useless knowledge. We need more vocational oriented classes.
I would say the two areas I am most passionate about are gun rights and mandate policies. With gun rights I believe your second amendment right should be protected no matter what and should not be restricted. With mandate policies I believe no one should mandate you to do anything against you own will.
I would say I look up to my parents the most out of anyone. They went through college both with full-time jobs and being full-time students. It showed me that you can persevere through anything if you work hard and really want it.
Someone who is in touch with their district and state for the better well being.
I feel as if I am very personable and knowledgeable about current events.
I remember the Boston bombing in 2013. It happened when I was 12 years old and I remember watching the news report on TV with my grandparents.
I was a 3D photographer for realty company for about two years. It was the virtual walkthrough of rental homes and homes for sale.
Obi-Wan Kenobi because as a little kid I wanted to be a Jedi.
Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show. O
To always work in the interest of the state and its people rather than yourselves.
Tackling the opioid epidemic and keeping people in the state.
No, because the people who are voting are common everyday people. It makes them more comfortable knowing they are voting someone like them into office.
Yes, so you can bring ideas together for the betterment of the state.
Agriculture and natural resources, Education, and Small business entrepreneurship and economic development.
Yes, but for now I want to focus on West Virginia and getting the state where it needs to be.
I would say it depends on the circumstances but most often it is necessary to do what is better for the state and the people.T
