Mike’s Priorities as your Attorney General

  1. Opiate & Drug Scourge; Tough on Crime- As the former United States Attorney, no one understands the opiate and drugs scourge better than me.  I have a proven documented record of being tough- tough on drug dealers and tough on criminals- while also understanding the critical important of redemption, treatment and second chances for the victims of substance abuse.
  2. Continue and expand the attack on Federal Overreach- I’ll continue and expand the work of Attorney General Morrisey to combat federal overreach on the environment, guns, life, and regulatory overreach.  The woke culture warriors, climate crazies and radical liberals- I’ll take on the radical forces that seek to destroy our jobs, take our guns, destroy our culture and our way of life. 
  3. Defend and Protect American Energy including coal and natural gas- I will be super-charged to ensure the defense and advocacy of the “energy beneath our feet.” We need to drill, frack and mine American energy and achieve American Energy Independence.  I’ll use every tool at my disposal to protect the jobs and industries that are critical to West Virginia’s economy and American national security.
  4. Assault on Fraud- Medicaid fraud, elder fraud, identity theft, substance abuse treatment program fraud, business fraud, etc.- fraud is at a crisis level today.  Fraud causes everyone to pay more and its victims are real.  I’ll assault fraud at every level and, as the former United States Attorney, I have a proven record of prosecuting Medicaid fraud and taking on those that prey on the weak and vulnerable.
  5. Supporting parents and families- West Virginia and American families are under assault today.  I am 100% committed to protecting parents and families including school choice, health choice and other issues. 
  6. Supporting law enforcement and veterans-  As a United States Attorney, I “Backed the Blue” and I supported expansion and growth of programs to support veterans.  As Attorney General I’ll continue to “Back the Blue” and we will expand Veteran’s Courts and veteran’s outreach throughout West Virginia.
