Better Roads for a Better Tomorrow
We cannot have a thriving economy without functional infrastructure. Here in Monongalia County, we all know the roads that need attention—from West Run and Tyrone Avery to Spruce Street downtown (pictured). Safe, reliable roads are essential for getting to work, getting our kids to school, supporting local businesses, and keeping our community moving.
Let's fix what's broken.

Let's Get Serious About Infrastructure

A nonprofit called TRIP published a study last year finding that one-third of West Virginia’s roads—and 51% of roads in Morgantown—are rated “poor” or “mediocre.” Our communities deserve better.
For too long, the Republican majority in Charleston has neglected our roads, and Monongalia County has paid the price. If elected, I will make sure our county and our district get the attention, investment, and infrastructure they deserve.
Fixing our roads is about more than filling potholes. It is about keeping families safe, protecting our vehicles, and making sure people can get to work, school, and home without worrying about the condition of the road beneath them. We need a state government that invests in infrastructure before problems become emergencies—not one that waits until our roads are falling apart. I will fight for the resources Mon County needs and hold Charleston accountable for delivering them. That means funding construction and maintenance, and seeking creative solutions to allow counties and municipalities to fund and maintain secondary roads.
"Infrastructure is an investment."
