“After a strong and steady stream of personal pleadings urged me to once again serve in public office and prolonged pondering and personal prayer, I decided to answer the call to return to duty one more time. And so, I now again am a Republican member of the West Virginia House of Delegates and also a candidate for re-election in 2020 (District #59, Berkeley-Morgan counties)."
"For me, 'Protanto quid retribuamus? (What shall we give in return for so much?)' is my reason to again agree to serve the public trust."
“When previously elected, it was my sincere promise and firm conviction to always stand up and speak out on behalf of more taxpayer friendly and less intrusive government. "That has not changed, nor will it ever!"
"Accordingly, I continue to pursue those principles of good governance that will give us meaningful tax reform, protect retired senior citizens and working Mountaineers, defend our personal right to bear arms, provide for local accountability of our schools, more equitable treatment of our school teachers and state employees (including much needed reform of our educational system), and to safeguard our personal property rights and pro-life family values."
"Additionally, still more needs to be done about the drug and alcohol abuse that rages throughout West Virginia. And so, our West Virginia legislators, in addition to enacting other prudent measures, should lead by our personal examples. That's why I'm again proposing mandatory substance abuse testing for all West Virginia legislators."
"Meanwhile, times still are too hard for far too many Mountaineers. That's why we need tax reform, but not more tax burdens.
"A better way is to restructure our already ample state budget, by reforming our tax system and state government programs. Among other things, this could and should lead to improved highways (including long overdue improvements to Rt. #9 between Martinsburg and Berkeley Springs), reduced (not increased) gasoline prices at the pump, better internet access, and the complete elimination of state taxes on our social security benefits and all pensions.
"Further, the persistent problem of West Virginia's aging and declining population adversely affects all of us, even including our representation in the United States Congress. In reviewing our state government policies and tax structure, a serious study of how to reverse this decline also should be undertaken, and I continue to pursue ideas to turn around this problem."
