Happy Veterans Day and thank you to all who have served and to all those who are still serving.

On 20 April 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation admitting a breakoff region of Virginia into the Union as the new state of West Virginia, to be effective 20 June 1863. Today, we celebrate the 155th anniversary of official statehood for the Mountain State. Happy birthday, West Virginia!

Don’t ever give up.

Thank you to all who supported me during this campaign. I cannot express my appreciation enough. Onward!

It’s a big day across West Virginia — Primary Election Day. I want to take this time to thank everyone who has supported me thus far. I am grateful beyond words. I have made some great new friends along the way, and that makes me a winner already. Now, make sure to get out and vote for the future of the Mountain State!

I had a great time at Dogfest in Shepherdstown over the weekend, and I made some new canine friends, including this sweet little girl named Cookie. I think I scored her vote for next Tuesday’s primary!

I did, and so should you.

Quaint. It’s a word that brings to mind a certain image of charming old homes and picturesque farm fields, of distinguished but relaxed civility. We often want for quaintness in our growing modern, high-speed world. But quaint and modern aren’t incompatible ideas. Jefferson County needs more leaders who recognize the importance of preserving our historic character in a way that doesn’t leave us behind in the ever-changing 21st century. Let’s work together to maintain this vision into our future.
