I was Mayor of South Charleston (WV 10th largest city) from 1975 to 2007. I was awarded the Bronze Star in Vietnam and am a practicing attorney. I was also captain of the football team at Marshall University. I am married to a school teacher. I have two children and a delightful 5-year old granddaughter. I grew up and was later mayor for 32 years in a town that was one of the most prosperous in America. That is no longer the case or even close to it. Thousands of good paying jobs have left this town and state. I want to bring them back ASAP!

• Good Jobs. Senators Byrd and Rockefeller brought good jobs to WV. So will I.
• Medical care affordable, accessible and easy to understand.
• Reduce economic inequality.

Bringing good jobs to West Virginia. We have been left behind, This state has many wonderful
qualities but we need good jobs and need them now.

I admire Winston Churchill because of his courage in the face of adversity and much criticism.
This business is easy when telling people what they want to hear. However, to achieve meaningful
goals, it takes courage, intelligence and perseverance.

I like military history. Perhaps movies as Saving Private Ryan and Platoon are good. They emphasize
a struggle for good and demonstrate perseverance.

Honesty and Integrity

Courage, intelligence and perseverance

Representing constituents and applying one's best judgment.

Brought good jobs to West Virginia.

My military service in Vietnam was a traumatic experience that made me realize the importance of
public policy. I have been engaged in public affairs since leaving the military nearly 50 years ago.

First real job I can recall was being a coach of the Marshall University freshman football team. I had exhausted all of my eligibility as a varsity player yet still needed a semester for my degree. I was hired as a coach and we were undefeated. Two years later most of these players were killed in a plane crash. I learned about this from helicopter pilots bringing us a warm Thanksgiving meal in Vietnam. I did not go back to Marshall for years as it was too painful.

I read constantly and have always been a reader, primarily non-fiction. I particularly books about Churchill
and both Roosevelts (FDR and TR).

I read very little fiction but loved Ian Fleming's James Bond books growing up.

I sang Country Roads (Almost Heaven West Virginia) loudly and proudly whenever it came over the
radio when I was delivering my campaign signs around the state.

Mechanical apptitude

(1) Climate Change (2) Income Inequality (3) Medical Care

Being the smaller of the two legislative bodies and power to approve presidential appointments and treaties make it unique.

I think experience helps because it should give one a background to achieve goals. I want to bring good jobs to West Virginia. This is not being done. With my experience and given the importance of the office (there are only 100), I believe it can be done.

While it can be viewed as undemocratic, I think at the same time it can be used to raise additional
issues for a deliberative body as the US Senate to consider.

Honesty and Integrity

Absolutely!

Appropriations/Finance/Judiciary

I would be interested for the purpose of getting things rather than delay and obfuscation that too often
seems to occur.

I liked Robert Byrd, Jay Rockefeller and Jennings Randolph.
