Priority Issues:

It is an honor to represent West Virginia's First District in Congress. I am fighting each day to make sure our children and grandchildren don't have to leave the state to find a job. From day one, my priorities have been the same ones from my first campaign:
Create jobs by keeping taxes low and reducing burdensome regulations
Cut wasteful spending
Fight the Obama Administration's attacks on coal and gas
Repeal ObamaCare and replace it with common sense health care reform
Protect Social Security and Medicare and keep the promises we've made to our seniors

Spouse's Occupation:

Registered Nurse practicing in a community hospital and is a nationally recognized nursing consultant.
