| Collapse all
I have had a long career of involvement in West Virginia. From growing up the son and grandson of coal miners in a Democrat family, I grew up with people telling me what I couldn’t do. Instead of listening, I decided to chart a course of leadership- a course I continue to chart to this very day.
I’ve already been endorsed by President Trump- as his personal pick for United States Attorney, the highest-ranking federal law enforcement official in the judicial district. I am proud that I was personally chosen as the United States Attorney by President Trump, confirmed by the United States Senate including with the support of Senator Manchin and Senator Capito, and served as a member of the Trump Administration.
I am Pro-Family, Pro-2nd Amendment, Pro-Faith, Pro-Parent/Student/Teacher, Pro-American energy, Pro-Law enforcement, Pro-Veteran, Pro-Border Wall and Pro-America, Pro-Freedom and Pro-Liberty. I support President Trump's America First Agenda. I support the development of America's remarkable energy reserves and believe we need a strategy of "all the above" with coal and natural gas from beneath our feet being produced in support of our jobs and national security.
- I believe in an America First agenda in support of American jobs and domestic development of manufacturing, energy and services.
- I believe that American energy independence is critically important for good jobs but also for our national security. President Biden's radical "new greed deal" energy policies are bad for the nation. Cutting American energy while seeking energy resources from despots, tyrants and dictators makes no sense. We need to safely "drill, frack and mine" the energy beneath our feet for good WV jobs and to strengthen our national security.
- Parents Matter! For too long, parents have been placed on the sidelines when it comes to education policy in America. Politicians and unelected bureaucrats have played to dominant a role in our children's education . It is important that parents be prioritized in the system. There is nothing more powerful that a motivated student with a committed parent in a classroom with a dedicated teacher. Our goal should be educational attainment- not politics.
As the former United States Attorney for the Southern District of West Virginia, I am passionate about public safety, supporting law enforcement, prosecuting and incarcerating violent criminals, second chances for the victims of substance abuse, and strengthening laws dealing with domestic violence and elder fraud.
I am also passionate about rooting out corruption. As the United States Attorney, I led the historic prosecution of two of the five members of the WV State Supreme Court. I also prosecuted the former Logan County Superintendent of Schools. We need stronger ethics and anti-corruption laws. As I said many times as the US Attorney, "There is no such thing as a little bit of public corruption."
I know that most people cite a politician or someone famous in history. For me, my heroes are my mom and dad.
My mom and dad are young. My mom is barley 17 years older than me and my dad a year more than that. My dad worked the coal mines for more than fifty year. My mom went to vocational school and earned her LPN degree and practices as a nurse for nearly 30 years.
My dad is the type of man that goes to work in the dark and comes home in the dark. He is one of those guys that looks forward to getting home from vacation more than going on vacation. Seven days a week, often 12-15 hours a day, my dad worked the coal fields to provide for my sister and me. No matter how hard it was on my mom and dad, there was always a lot of presents under the Christmas tree and a lot of love in our household.
My mom and dad, despite their crazy work schedules, hardly ever missed a school or sports event. They were always there even when I sat the bench. I always know that I had their unconditional support and love growing up. Although it was hard, they provided me every possible opportunity.
There may never be a book written about my mom and dad but they are both heroes to me. They steeped on my a strong work ethic, good character, and a belief in honesty and faith. My mom and dad are the finest people I know- generous, loving, and just good people.
There is not a single book, essay or film that would define my political philosophy. I am driven by freedom and Liberty. I believe in the greatness of ordinary people. I don't value nobility, inherited title or royalty. I believe in Divine law of man and the basic tenet that the powers of government are granted by and retained by the people.
There are many diabolical forces in the political process. It is critical that an elected official have humility, honesty, and good character. Politics has a way of accentuating the flaws in personalities. It is critically important that elected officials never forget the real purpose of elected leadership- representing their constituency.
I am a strong leader with a proven record of leadership. As the former United States Attorney for the Southern District of West Virginia, I led federal law enforcement for the southern district of West Virginia. My record was strong and effective. I have a reputation for integrity and honesty. I also am someone of high character with a strong work ethic.
I spent my life with people telling me what I couldn’t do- “you can’t go to college; you can’t grow up the be the Chair of the State Republican Party; you can’t Chair a future President’s statewide campaign; you can’t be an accountant or an attorney or, for goodness sakes, the United States Attorney; you can’t make a difference and you definitely can’t change West Virginia.” Well, I like proving people wrong. I did and am doing all those things. I like the saying, “You are only as big as the dream you dare to live.” I believe our destiny is only limited by the size of our dreams.
I am no longer the United States Attorney but that doesn’t mean I can’t continue to fight for the “good guys” and for a better business climate, better schools and better opportunities for the people of West Virginia. Unfortunately, however, this time I don’t have a President of the United States to nominate me or the United States Senate to confirm me to my post. For me to go to the State Senate, I need the help of those that love West Virginia and its people.
The core responsibility to always serve the best interests of his/her constituency. In that process, it is important that the elected official be respectful, be on time and in person, communicate to his/her constituency on a regular basis, and be available to meet with stakeholders regularly. Finally, it is critically important to avoid conflicts of interest and to place honest leadership as the core tenet.
I am not concerned with my legacy. Very few people actually have a legacy. My most important legacy will be my daughters- Isabella and Audrey. My legacy is to help them be good people with the opportunity to self-determine their lives. To me, there is no greater legacy than independent, happy, productive children.
In terms of my professional legacy, I don't really care. If I am to be remembered for anything, I hope it is that I was willing to fight for those things I believed were important. I’ve already been endorsed by President Trump- as his personal pick for United States Attorney, the highest-ranking federal law enforcement official in the judicial district. I am proud that I was personally chosen as the United States Attorney by President Trump, confirmed by the United States Senate including with the support of Senator Manchin and Senator Capito, and served as a member of the Trump Administration. Democrat, Republican, Independent- everyone acknowledges I was a good and effective United States Attorney. I broke records. I rebuilt the operations. I aggressively attacked corruption including prosecuting two of the five members of the West Virginia Supreme Court. I reasserted a focus on the rule of law. And I always, always, always “Backed the Blue.” I even proposed the “Back the Blue” license plate and, after it was approved by the Legislature, I was honored by law enforcement with Back the Blue license plate, number “0001.”
There have been many historical events in my lifetime but the most significant event to me was 9/11. I was 33 or 34 at the time and it is a day I will never forget. In fact, I can remember almost everything about that day.
I was working in Boston at the time, on State Street, near all the trading windows for the stock exchanges and near the wharf district. I distinctly remember as I was sitting at my desk in my office that my secretary ran down the hallway stating, "A plane has hit the world trade center." I remember thinking that was horrible but I was thinking it was a small Cessna that went off course and crashed. Little did I know at the time that it was a full attack on the nation.
A short time later, the internet and our phone system was having trouble. We soon realized that it was two full-size commercial planes that flew directly int the World Trade towers. We were all evacuated to the streets in Boston. I will never forget the tens of thousands of people on the streets of Boston and the trading windows all turned to the World Trade Centers. We all watched is confusion at the events before our eyes. I will never ever forget the sounds on the streets of Boston when that first tower fell- an immediate rash of screams followed by dead silence and disbelief. Absolute dead cold silence.
When we returned to our office building, all of us joined in the conference rooms to watch events unfold. The second tower fell and then the assault on the Pentagon. It was too much to comprehend. Being in Boston, a place with more than 70 colleges and universities with a large international student population, we were all evacuated from our towers to the streets.
We must never forget. We must never, ever forget. The blessings of liberty are not free from fate or risk. Freedom is not free. The blessings of liberty must be reestablished with each generation. God Bless the United States of America.
I’m a guy that’s had to fight and hustle for every opportunity along my path. I’ve always been the underdog, underestimated and overlooked. Like many of you, I’ve had my share of “wins” and “losses” and I’ve sometimes struggled in the journey. I’ve done everything from shoveling horse manure at a horse farm to waiting tables. I’ve been a paper boy, a hamburger flipper, a ventilation duct installer, a construction worker, a suit salesman (at JC Penney- talk about tough), a bartender, an accountant for one of the largest accounting firms in the world (PricewaterhouseCoopers), a lawyer for some of the nation’s best firms (KL Gates in Boston, Steptoe & Johnson, and Dinsmore), and an advisor to Senators and Governors and Presidents. I wouldn’t change one thing. My journey built character, passion, drive and determination.
I spent my life with people telling me what I couldn’t do- “you can’t go to college; you can’t grow up the be the Chair of the State Republican Party; you can’t Chair a future President’s statewide campaign; you can’t be an accountant or an attorney or, for goodness sakes, the United States Attorney; you can’t make a difference and you definitely can’t change West Virginia.” Well, I like proving people wrong. I did and am doing all those things.
My very first real job was flipping burgers at McDonalds. It was a tough but very gratifying job. It gave me a perspective of working hard for minimum wage and it was a tough job.
Washington, A Life - George Washington is my favorite President. I believe he was the greatest American in that he established the remarkable principle of the peaceful transition of power. Although he could have been a monarch, he chose the humility of a democratic form of government. The greatest single act in western democracy was Washington's deliberate and intentional surrender of his military commission as the Commander in Chief of the Continental Army to Congressional leaders. It was an act of remarkable humility.
Sir William Wallace (Braveheart)
Take Me Home, Country Roads and Simple Gifts
Life is a daily struggle to try to be the very best person I can be, to honor my family and my parents, to respect and love my wife, and to provide proper mentoring to my children. Life isn't easy. It can be hard. It is rarely fair but everyone deserves a level playing field.
I think it's important that there be a good working relationship between the chief executive and the legislature. I don't believe that Governor's should dictate policies but neither do I believe that Legislators should either.
It is important to find the proper balance. A good Governor proposes legislation and works with legislators to enact that legislation often in compromised form. A good Governor also empowers those around him/her and Legislators to initiate and advocate their own policies in the interests of good government.
I think it is important that there be a collegial relationship albeit constructive and honest. As the chief executive, the Governor should have the opportunity to lead the policy making process on behalf of the state and, hopefully, in a constructive manner with elected legislators.
There are two primary challenges- growing our population and growing our economy. Both are interrelated.
West Virginia is the only state in the country to lose population over the past 50 years. There has been a brain drain and a key loss of population across West Virginia.
Additionally, West Virginia's economy is in transition. Once a purely industrial extractive industry economy with chemical and steel production, the state is in the process of transitioning to a more modern economy, one that is diversified to meet the needs of the nation.
West Virginia has a bicameral legislature. A unicameral legislature is one with only a single house of elected leadership. I believe that a bicameral legislature is the better model. As in the United States Congress, the West Virginia Legislature is comprised of a House of Delegates and a State Senate. The House is elected every two years and State Senators are elected for four year terms. The intent of the House is to be closer and more responsive to our citizens. The State Senate, by comparison, is intended to be more deliberate. In West Virginia it works essentially in that manner.
There must be a proper balance. Politics was never supposed to be a career. Experience is never a bad thing but a lifetime in politics insulates an individual from understanding the needs of ordinary citizens. I think it is incredibly important that individuals understand "life"- paying taxes, providing for their healthcare, taking care of a family, meeting obligations, etc. Sadly, those that spend a career in politics lose their ability to connect over time. It is also easy to become myopic and institutionalized over time. My view is that politicians should serve a reasonable amount of time and then return to the private sector.
Life and leadership is about building relationships. Regardless of ideology or partisanship, my goal will be to build strong relationships throughout the Legislature. There is never a downside to building good relationships. The most important benefit to good relationships is the respect it engenders. If you have good relationships, it is easy for people to have an open mind as to the things you propose and promote.
Redistricting ought to be transparent, fair and reasonable. The predominant goal should be "best interests of the citizens." Gerrymandering or partisan redistricting don't serve the interests of our citizens.
I will defer to leadership on the selection of the Committee for which I will be most effective but I would anticipate I will serve on the Judiciary Committee. As a lawyer and as a former United States Attorney, I can bring value and insight to the Legislature and the Committee.
No. I just want to be myself- open-minded, respectful, thoughtful, and considerate.
I am only interested in doing the best I can in my present role. I think the best way to aspire to higher office is to do a good job in the office you're in. Too many people are always running for their next office rather than doing a good job. My view is that if you do a good job, the future will take care of itself.
As the former United States Attorney, I was the chief federal law enforcement officer for the district. One of my priorities was the opiate epidemic. During my term as the US Attorney, I embraced many moms and dads at the point of their greatest grief. I carry in my pocket each day, a wallet filled with the beautiful picture of the faces of the victims of the opiate scourge. It is those pictures that haunt me in the silence of the night. I carry those picture to remind me of who we are fighting for and why we must seek an end to the opiate crisis.
I have literally hundreds of impactful stories of the victims I sought to protect and defend as the United States Attorney. Domestic violence victims, elder fraud victims, overdose victims, etc. - those sotries will inspire me the rest of my days.
The nine most terrifying words in the English language- "I'm from the government and I'm here to help."
The Legislature should rarely grant emergency powers and, in each instance, the emergency powers should be closely managed by the Legislature, I value freedom and Liberty. Freedom and Liberty must be protected and maintained. Any action that restricts or limits freedom or Liberty is an action that must be rare, especially infrequent, limited in time, and reserved for only the most extraordinary of events.
It is unreasonable to believe that compromise isn't part of the political process. In an elected body of 34 or 100, there will be 34 or 100 different points of view. I think compromise is a realistic necessity for good leadership but the key is compromising on policy without compromising on principle. Listening is far more important than speaking and it's important that elected officials hear each other and their constituents.
Good policy doesn't get made in a vacuum. The best policy is probably that policy not loved or hated by any ideological side. The art of compromise is a lost art. We view compromise in punitive terms. We must appreciate that compromise doesn't mean losing.
Now, as much as I believe it's important to be flexible and to compromise in the process of policymaking, there are instances in which compromise is not advisable or desirable in the policy making process. There is right versus wrong, and on certain issues it is sometimes best to "agree to disagree."

Delegate allocation
West Virginia had 34 delegates at the 2016 Republican National Convention. Of this total, nine were district-level delegates (three for each of the state's three congressional districts) and 22 served as at-large delegates. According to the Republican National Committee, West Virginia's district and at-large delegates were "elected on the primary ballot and [may have specified an] intention to be committed to a candidate."[6][7]
In addition, three national party leaders (identified on the chart below as RNC delegates) served as bound delegates to the Republican National Convention. The RNC delegates were required to pledge their support to the winner of the state's primary.[6][7]
Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
