Issue Position: Restore our Natural Resource Economy

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2014
Issues: Employment and Affirmative Action Energy

In Clay County alone, we have lost over 300 mining jobs since 2009. This trend has devastated our county and school district budgets across our district, while also having grave consequences for our citizens and families. Overregulation has obstructed employment, while we have resources waiting to be utilized. With natural resources comes job opportunity, and we can responsibly protect the environment while getting out of the way of economic growth. I will fight for our natural resource industries, taking my experience as an attorney standing up to overregulation from the EPA and WVDEP to defend our coal, agriculture, energy and natural gas industries in the state capitol.
