  • Vape Shops! Cannabis Products! Smoke Shops! Today in committee, I objected to a Democrat-sponsored amendment that would WEAKEN protection for our children against dangerous substances sold in VAPE shops. The liberal left is always looking for a way to weaken our laws and promote craziness that leaves our kids at risk! Thankfully, my objection was upheld by a majority vote! I'll ALWAYS stand up for West Virginia's kids! Watch my objection in committee today. #ItsWorthTheWork

  • See this clip of my interview this week with MetroNews. I’m fighting to bring the DEATH PENALTY back to West Virginia for the most egregious sexual crimes against our children. Our children must be protected. Those convicted of these horrific crimes should NEVER walk free to harm another child.Thank you to Dave and TJ for having me on the show.

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
