I strongly support the Second Amendment right of individuals to defend themselves. As a woman and a mother, I believe that the responsible use of firearms can be a valuable equalizer in physical confrontations and a protection against violent crime. I am committed to protecting West Virginia’s castle doctrine, as well as the “constitutional carry” law recently passed by the Republican legislature. I am proud to have received the endorsement of the West Virginia Citizens Defense League, a stalwart voice for Second Amendment rights in our state. I also support the long-standing heritage of firearm use by West Virginia’s hunters and sportsmen.
