West Virginia has an opportunity to join the growing number of states, including Maryland, Ohio, and Virginia that have taken bold steps to legalize cannabis, and I believe it’s time we give the people a voice on this issue.

I’m a born and bred Mountaineer who takes pride in my Appalachian roots. Our people are resilient, strong, and grounded in our land and traditions. J.D. Vance reminds me how proud I am of my home, because I know he’s a fraud who has no idea what it means to be Appalachian. 🧵

I read "Hillbilly Elegy." It drove me crazy. It affirms negative stereotypes we've fought our whole lives to overcome. Appalachia has a rich culture and unbreakable resilience that should be celebrated, not reduced to harmful tropes.

Appalachia has been historically scapegoated and disenfranchised. Our resources have been stripped, and our people exploited for cheap labor. These systemic injustices, perpetuated by big corporations and wealthy outsiders, lead to poverty and addiction.

Vance wrote that Appalachia is a “hub of misery.” I’ve never read a bigger lie.
Unlike him, I believe in lifting up our communities, not tearing them down. We deserve leaders who get our struggles and will fight for real change, not just pay lip service.

Vance blames our people for these problems instead of addressing their root causes. He’ll do the same if we make the mistake of putting him a heartbeat away from the most powerful position in the world.

Vance claims to represent rural American values. But actions speak louder than words, and Vance's actions make it crystal clear who he is. I don't know many true Appalachians who consider an $8B Silicon Valley venture capitalist their closest mentor.

The WV legislature is now in special session, and I just delivered our petition to put reproductive freedom on the ballot in November. Thank you to the thousands of West Virginians who joined me in signing the petition; our work has just begun.

When the opioid epidemic hit Huntington hard, I went after the big drug distribution firms flooding our streets with opioids who bragged about “turbocharging opioid sales.” Patrick Morrisey lobbied for them. Let's hold him accountable this November.

The key to overcoming the opioid crisis lies in empowering local communities to find solutions that work for them. What worked in Huntington may not work for Fairmont or Martinsburg. That’s why we need a governor who understands the importance of local, tailored solutions.

Recently, the U.S. Supreme Court made a decision to toss out a proposed $6 billion settlement with Purdue Pharma. The Sacklers should not be granted immunity from further legal liability. They must be held accountable for the devastation they have caused in our communities.

Two years ago today, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, taking away a woman's freedom to control her own body. In West Virginia, we've seen disastrous consequences. I’m fighting harder than ever to restore this fundamental freedom.
