Campaign themes

2016

Juba-Plumley's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

Drug Addiction Crisis

  • I am running for political office for a number of reasons, but, the most important is to try and help with the drug epidemic we have. While there are no easy solutions to drug addiction and the crime that goes along with it, there are some simple steps we can take to: (1) prevent pharmaceutical opiates from being prescribed for chronic pain in unreasonable amounts; (2) tie off the ability to purchase opiates on the street by regulating pawn shops; (3) shut down the Detroit, Columbus, Atlanta routes from bringing drugs into this State; (4) making treatment an automatic option instead of jail and providing the treatment facilities necessary to do the job; (5) taking steps to remove road blocks that are preventing recovered addicts from getting jobs and drivers licenses; and (6) educating the next generation to prevent this type of epidemic from ever happening in the future.

Create Jobs in Government, Agriculture and Alternative a Energy

  • The second reason I am running ties into my economics background. We must find a lasting and reasonable solution to our jobs and tax base problem. We have to have a sustainable tax base and to have this, we need businesses and good paying jobs. Government has historically stepped in to provide jobs in times of economic hardship. Well, we are in an economic hardship right now due to the drastic drop in gas prices which caused coal mining to practically cease in the State. We completely lost our tax base and many, many jobs. Economists and coal industry analysts all say those jobs are not coming back. We must look to alternatives. The government can find a revenue stream, initiate many needed infrastructure projects building roads and bridges, and put people into good , tax paying jobs. We can also look to alternative energy production, such as solar and wind, and farming of hemp and/or medical marijuana as an honest source of jobs and tax revenue. Of course we all want more new manufacturing jobs, but, we have to be realistic and understand there are only so many of those jobs to be created and we are competing with 49 other States and the rest of the world for those jobs.

Education

  • The Third reason I am running is for education. I am walking, talking proof of the power of education. I was encouraged and helped all the way through graduation from law school by teachers and a government that knew investing in education helps everyone, including the government. I have been a tax paying citizen since 1985. Education is the only thing that will raise poverty stricken West Virginians up and make them contributing citizens. As a person of faith, I believe we must help every child out there live up to his or her potential. Education is the only way to do that. As a society, it is time that we acknowledge the important role played by our teachers and educators and that we pay them a salary that acknowledges that importance. We must pay our educators in a manner that makes them stay here and not go across the border for a much larger salary. We must also find a way to fund at least a community college or technical education past high school.[3]
