Positions and priorities

A position shows what the candidate said—not FactVote's endorsement.

Each summary is supported by the candidate's own words from a campaign source, direct candidate response, or official primary record retained with the profile.

Gun policy and firearms

Candidate position

As a proud West Virginian, I will ALWAYS stand up for the rights of our citizens to keep and bear firearms. Whether for hunting or self-defense, this right of the people shall not be infringed, even in the face of relentless liberal efforts to disarm us. I’ve already fought and won on this issue here in West Virginia. When the credit card companies tried to team up with Michael Bloomberg and liberal gun-grabbers to create a backdoor gun registry, I stopped them.

Immigration, border security, and due process

Candidate position

A nation without a border is not a nation. The Biden administration’s abdication of its responsibility to secure our border is unacceptable. Indeed, it’s criminal. When I get to Congress I will work with President Trump to finish the border wall and empower law enforcement with the authority necessary to send illegal immigrants back. We cannot allow terrorists and drug smugglers to continue to enter our nation unchecked. The only acceptable level of illegal immigration is zero.

Technology, cryptocurrency, and privacy

Candidate position

The status quo in crypto and digital assets is unworkable. If the United States wants to lead the development of blockchain technology, rather than deferring to countries like Russia and China, we need regulatory frameworks that promote American values and foster this emerging industry. We have an opportunity to promote critical technology, protect consumers, and ensure no American gets left behind. At the same time, we must keep the surveillance state and overweening bureaucrats at bay. I oppose any central bank digital currency as a violation of fundamental American values.

Energy, environment, and natural resources

Candidate position

Fossil fuels power America’s economy and provide high quality jobs to West Virginians. Yet radical Democrats are trying to shut down the coal industry and throttle our burgeoning natural gas sector. They’re actively trying to kill thousands of West Virginia jobs. I won’t let that happen. I will stand up for our coal and gas industries in West Virginia, as I have as your State Treasurer. Our miners deserve our support. I’ll make sure they have it.

Economy, jobs, taxes, and government spending

Candidate position

Democrats have learned that they can’t get their radical policies implemented through the legislative process. Instead, they’ve tried to team up with woke corporations to implement social engineering. I’ve fought back - and won. I’ll keep pushing - and winning - in Washington to make sure big business doesn’t do big government’s dirty work.

Every numbered U.S. House roll call published by the Clerk during the configured service window is reconciled through the member's exact Bioguide ID. Clerk XML through 2002 does not publish Bioguide IDs, so those rows require a candidate-specific official House identity and service bridge plus one unique exact published-name, party, and state tuple. A published roll without an identity-safe row is retained as an explicit source omission and is not labeled as a vote or absence. Voice votes and other actions without member-level roll calls are outside this archive.
