Politician

We have to change the culture of mass violence we have.

The work completed during the special session was just the beginning. During those six days we lit a spark that will positively impact the lives of our children and grandchildren, but the full fire is yet to come.

Wherever there is one job on the verge of being lost, I will fight to save it. Wherever there is one company looking to grow in West Virginia, I will fight to make that growth a reality.

Our workers comp debt is the Achilles heel of our state's economy, and I firmly believe that in order to create more good jobs in West Virginia this system must be fixed and it must be fixed now. We cannot afford to wait even one more minute.

I fully expect to be able to complete one more campaign goal - and that is to proudly report that signs have been erected as you enter our great state that say 'Welcome to Wild, Wonderful West Virginia: Open for Business!'

A child's geographic location, race or parent's income level should not predetermine their life's course and it's up to us to see that they don't.

Economic development is what's going to make mountaintop removal palatable.

We have reduced sales tax on food. Now we want it eliminated.

I strongly believe the DREAM Act should require the completion of a degree.

There's a lot of Democrats, myself included, who have supported right-to-life.

I don't know anybody that doesn't own a gun.

'Obamacare,' as it's been called, is far too reaching. It's overreaching. It needs to have a lot of it repealed.

Whoever is president, my first priority is the same - as always. I look for what's best for West Virginia and the nation as a whole.

Millions and millions of people are proud gun owners, and they do it responsibly and by the law.

I would never abdicate, nor would I expect any other governor to abdicate, the responsibility to protect the people of my state.

My grandmother had a great saying. It always stuck with me: 'People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.' They've got to see it and feel it. And it's for real. And that's all. Be who you are.

Come to West Virginia and we'll show you how to live... how to treat people. We're open for business. West Virginia is truly on the move.

Why would anybody not own a gun?

I just think, you know, when we talk about a politician, I think a person has to be themselves. Let the voters see the real you.

I believe in health care reform.
