Matt Detch, Democrat
1. Matt has a bachelors in criminology from Missouri state university and a MASTERS DEGREE IN INTERNATIONAL CRIMINOLOGY from the university of Greenwich in London, England. Seems pretty handy, hopefully he can put that to good use in congress. 2. He worked for the secret service under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama. 3. He manages the local Irish Pub in Lewisburg WV (thats how I know him), so he has small buisness expierence, and knows how to help other WV small buisness's 4. I have personally met Matt several times and can tell you he is a good guy, and seems to me to hold moderate views. Meaning, he wont give up on coal, but realizes WV has to diversify to survive. 5. He is endorsed by the Mountain Party. 6. He's against the TPP. 7. Hes against big money taking over politics.

VOTED AGAINST REGULATION OF INTERNET ACCESS RATES, 4. voted to defund planned parenthood, 5. voted against nuclear arms reductions, the treaty between the USA and Russia.
Heres what he said during the state fair politcal forum: 1. Hes from Huntington 2. Hes still misquoting Hilliary Clinton regarding coal. She didnt say that she was going to put coal mines out of buisness. Society/free market will. Look it up people, this is gotcha politics at its worst. 3. Hes against common core education standards. 4. Endorsed by the UMWA 5. Sponsor of the the reclaim act, which is to work with mountain top removal sites to use them for economic developement.
A follow up on my PSA on Evan Jenkins the representative for WV third district in the US House of Representatives. After the Orlando shooting, I emailed him asking him to do something for gun control in this country. Stiffer background checks, mandatory trigger locks, smart gun tech, anything really. Here is what he wrote back. The standard answer. Mental health. That's not good enough. You might say that it's a cliche answer, without thought.
