I grew up in West Virginia, and this wonderful state is my home. I graduated from West Virginia University with a Bachelor's in International Studies (with an Area of Emphasis in "National Security and Diplomacy"), and I am a first-generation college student. I enjoy studying history, languages, and pretty much anything that catches my eye.
  • We must fix the broken, short-sighted "band-aids on gashes" our political class calls "solutions". This requires a new view on politics, and a new generation of leadership. We need "A New Future for West Virginia".
  • West Virginia requires a comprehensive look at, if not an outright overhaul of, our education system. State scores in reading/language arts, mathematics, and other subjects are on a decline. If we want our bright minds to prosper, both today and in future generations, we must prepare them to best utilise their talents in novel ways.
  • Too many of our political class worships the GDP as the end-all-be-all, and unfortunately views our populace as statistics, even if it isn't intentional for some (as long as the line is going up, that means everything is fine). This needs to change. We must promote better policies for West Virginian workers, so that our working-class can flourish and provide for their families, especially when the cost of living and the stresses of our current economy is rising.
Education, the environment, West Virginia's relations with the outside world, and worker's rights, to name a few.
Aside from Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and His Saints, a lot of the people I listed before. Their services to their countries inspire me to serve my people.
The Bible, the encyclicals of various Popes (e.g.: Rerum Novarum by Pope Leo XIII)/writings related to Catholic Social Teaching, the writings of the Founding Fathers, the political writings of Ancient Greece and Rome, etc.
Honesty, directness, decisiveness, and being willing to stick to your guns and fight for what you believe in. To be willing to listen to other points of view (even if you disagree), and to work ultimately for the betterment of the people and the state, both present and future.
I believe my courses in political science, as well as my understanding of other cultures and languages can come in handy. My passion for my State and my stalwart resolve to make sure those alive both now and in the future are better off are also good qualities, I'd think.
To listen to their constituents first and foremost, and to not be corrupt. Don't let power get to your head, as pride cometh before the fall.
One of dutiful service to both my academic field and to my state.
One I actively remembered participating in was the 2016 election, when I was 14. What a time that was, eh?

A passive one I remember was the Great Recession when I was six.
I worked at Chipotle for a couple years. There were some ups and downs, but for a first job, it was pretty good.
As of right now, the Sagas of the Icelanders.
That's a hard one. Probably Gandalf.
"Myrise Thymari", a Greek song.
The governor can provide input, but he must realise that if the
In no order whatsoever: Education, our infrastructure, the economy, energy generation, and population-related issues.
It can be, but is not entirely necessary. What is important is the willingness to learn.
Yes, because even if you disagree, relationships between your fellow legislators is an important thing to cultivate and can lead to better understanding, and ultimately better governmental stability. This in turn can lead to better policies being passed.
Though not particularly state legislators, here are some political figures: Augustus Caesar (Rome), Emperor Trajan (Rome), Emperor-Saint Constantine the Great (Rome), Emperor Justinian the Great (Rome), King Alfred the Great (Anglo-Saxon England), King-Saint Louis IX of France, Blessed Emperor Charles I of Austria-Hungary, President George Washington (USA), President Thomas Jefferson (USA), King Haakon VII of Norway, and Queen Elizabeth II (UK), among numerous others.
Perhaps. Only God knows what He has in store for me.
It depends on the situation.
A state investigation into possible mismanagement of finances at West Virginia University, and an investigation of everyone personally involved, both present and former.
Education, Veterans' Affairs/Homeland Security, and Senior/Children/Family Issues.
The government is accountable to its citizens, not the other way around. If they do not, they risk damaging social trust and cohesion, and instability will certainly rise. The government must also, however, be willing to make decisive decisions, even if it may "seem hard". The state must also be financially transparent, so that taxpayers know where exactly their money is going and that none of it is going to waste. The squandering of state money is an unfortunate problem that must be remedied as soon as possible.
