Reason for Seeking Public Office:

"As West Virginia's State Auditor, I've served as the state's fiscal watchdog. I brought Republicans and Democrats together to find common-sense solutions to cut wasteful spending, protect our tax dollars, and create the right environment for businesses to create jobs. Now I'm running for Congress to bring some West Virginia common-sense and values to Washington"
