With an “A+” rating from the National Rifle Association and the endorsement of the WV Citizens Defense League, I am proud to say I have a long history of preserving and championing gun rights for West Virginians.
It is often said that freedom “is never more than one generation away from extinction,” and the same is true of our Second Amendment rights if we are not careful. Our Founding Fathers embedded our Constitution with the right to keep and bear arms and wrote that such a right “shall not be infringed,” and as your State Senator, I have always fought to make sure it stays that way.
I will continue to be your Second Amendment Champion in the WV State Senate.
