I have full faith in our local county prosecutors and law enforcement officers to do their jobs. What I don<U+2019>t trust is expanding the authority of the government, especially with the recent weaponization of it against whistleblowers and President Trump.

For the past seven years, I<U+2019>ve had the absolute privilege of serving as Charlie<U+2019>s vice chair on the Judiciary Committee. WV will benefit tremendously from having a person of his intellect and integrity serving on our Supreme Court. https://t.co/QvyGWsxJgn
Growing gov<U+2019>t and centralizing power in Charleston is the wrong priority. To make our communities safer we must work with local law enforcement and prosecutors, not take away their powers.

Today, as the memorial services are held for Trooper Cory Maynard at Mingo Central High School, please consider supporting his family. They undoubtedly deserve the support of the state he gave his life in service to.
