Husband, Dad, Foster Father, Christian, Pastor, Conservative to name a few.
I am 100% PRO LifeI am 100% PRO FamilyI am 100% PRO FaithI am 100% PRO Gun
My desire is to help restore honesty and integrity into our political system!- We need delegates who will stand for conservative principles!
- We need delegates who will legislate with common sense!
- We need delegates who will labor to see our communities succeed
I have a desire to stand up for faith and families all across our community. As a citizen and as a Pastor, I cannot stand by and allow individuals to harm family values and erode religious liberties and fail to act.
Freedom to worship and freedom to teach and preach God's Holy Word without censorship from any group, party, or man made laws must always remain.
Pro-Life
I stand against abortion. I believe the unborn have the right to life. However, WV women should have access to free birth control to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Abortion is not the answer. Our pregnancy resource centers must remain open with added locations.
Pro-Family
In May I will celebrate 10 years of marriage to my wife Amy. We have 3 biological children and are an open foster home. Currently we have a fourth child in our care whom we love dearly.
Pro- 2nd Amendment
I believe in the right to own and to bear arms for the safety of our homes, our Families and our community!
Pro Business and Economy
I believe we have too many politicians in politics!
We must emphasize the importance of self-reliance and family development.

Scorecards
Ascorecard 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.
