  I’ve seen firsthand the anger & tribalism that have infected our political system. If you’re saying, “There has to be a better way?” There is. Dead Center offers a path forward to governance based on what our American founders practiced: Common Sense.

  Please, Mr. President – have you no decency and respect? Dr. Fauci has served the American people for 6 administrations – both Democrats and Republicans. He has always prioritized the health and safety of the American people.

  After speaking to Samantha Burns’ parents, I believe it is my duty to speak on their behalf and say President Biden’s decision to commute the death sentences for the two men convicted in her brutal murder is horribly misguided and insulting. (1/3)

  I was appalled to see our nation’s prized monuments used for a political rally last night. Our White House and National Mall belong to the American people, not the Republican, Democratic or any political party.

  Pres. Trump - no Democrat has worked harder in a bipartisan way in the hopes that you would succeed. The people of WV know exactly who has worked day & night for the last 5 years to secure their healthcare & pensions & it wasn’t you.

  After meeting with Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, considering her record, and closely monitoring her testimony and questioning before the Senate Judiciary Committee this week, I have determined I intend to vote for her nomination to serve on the Supreme Court. My full statement:

  Defund the police? Defund, my butt. I'm a proud West Virginia Democrat. We are the party of working men and women. We want to protect Americans' jobs & healthcare. We do not have some crazy socialist agenda, and we do not believe in defunding the police.

  The next 12 days are critical for the preservation of our democracy.

  My statement on the January 6th Commission:

  Replying to @Sen_JoeManchin
  I’ve read the transcripts thoroughly & listened to the witnesses under oath. Where I come from a person accused defends themselves with witnesses and evidence.
• 
  I will vote to support Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh.

  This is a recipe for disaster. The federal government has no business telling American families how to cook their dinner. I can tell you the last thing that would ever leave my house is the gas stove that we cook on.

  WATCH: I toured
  @USPS
  facilities across #WV today to thank our postal workers. People need their medicine, checks, & their ballots. That's why I filed the POST Act to prevent post office closures during the #COVID19 pandemic. Now is not the time to play politics with our mail.

  The Inflation Reduction Act is not a Democratic or Republican bill. It's a bill for America. We have an opportunity to lower drug costs for seniors, lower ACA health care premiums, increase our energy security & invest in energy technologies - all while reducing our national debt
