Issue Position

The economy in West Virginia has been getting slightly better over the past few years under new leadership. We must be sure to elect those who will continue the path toward prosperity.

We need to work to make WV a more business friendly state by removing regulations and job killing taxes that keep new companies from coming into our state. We must reject any raise on severance taxes for oil & gas or coal if we want those jobs to help WV thrive. Also working to remove the business inventory tax would be a huge step in the right direction, to help bring industry back to our state.

WV doesn't need higher taxes on the business industry. What we need are more taxpayers that can work, live and raise families in our state. Providing good paying jobs will bring people back to our state, while also keeping those here who wish to stay here.
