I support a complete revamp of our education system to focus on the individual and give kids more outside time! We need to pay teachers more as well as give them more freedom and autonomy in the class room. Bernie Sanders has proposed a $60,000 minimum teacher salary and I support this as well. We also need tuition-free higher education so that young people can get ahead without drowning in debt. I support forgiving student loan debt. The federal government is making a huge amount of money by burdening young people with education debt. We must invest in our young people, understanding that they are our future. Learn more
It is imperative that we leave a livable planet behind to future generations. Young people are facing climate catastrophe in our lifetimes. I will fight to pass strong climate action including the Green New Deal and strong protection for our water sources. I will oppose fracking, pipelines, and the toxic Appalachian Storage Hub. Investment in the clean energy sector as well as hemp can regenerate West Virginia's economy with high quality green jobs. By supporting ecotourism in Southern West Virginia, we can bring income into our communities, while preserving our land and water. Learn more
Washington is broken because of corporate influence and greed over our nation's politics. We have to get corporate money out of politics. It's time to end Citizens United and restrict corporations from buying elections. We need a government that represents the will of the people, not big corporations. Learn more
There are over 30 million Americans lacking health insurance and healthcare coverage. Many families in West Virginia are drowning in medical debt. In the richest country on earth, there is no reason that anyone should die from the lack of ability to pay for a drug or medical bill. It's time that we join the rest of the developed world and prioritize healthcare as a right. I support a single payer system that will cut out the insurance companies as the middle man, which will save billions in overhead costs, so that we can focus on providing quality and preventative care to everyone.

I support abolishing ICE and treating immigrants with respect and dignity. I support affordable and safe housing, rent control, and a living wage so that working families can avoid falling into poverty. I support unions and workers rights to organize and seek better pay and conditions. Learn more
