I’m a husband and father. I’m a proud conservative, lawyer, business owner & man of faith—but most importantly, I am one of you.
I’m a mountaineer who understands real life in West Virginia. That’s why I’m proud to announce my candidacy to be the next governor of West Virginia.
We’re sitting on 200 years of coal and unlimited natural gas, and 2 days worth of cold air forces WV’s to turn off their heat? This is outrageous and caused by ridiculous policy decisions by those who will not and do not understand American energy independence. Turn off dc first.

West Virginia, THANK YOU! We couldn't have done this without the help of our grassroots supporters and my amazing team! I look forward to enjoying this hard-earned victory with my family before getting back to work to win in November! Team McCuskey, we did it!
A very proud moment for my dad and our family.
@WVWesleyan
played a huge role in our family history, and hearing his excitement about this gift and the future of the school, and our state is inspiring. Can’t wait to see what these students accomplish!
West Virginia Wesleyan College received the largest one-time gift in its 130-year history for a new program aimed at students pursuing careers in science thanks to former Supreme Court justice John McCuskey.

Good on you Senator.
At 11pm you’re toasting 200 of your best friends after an enormous hard fought victory.

Love this from Dr. Fauci, “the virus is a force, and on its own, it ravages a community, but, fortunately, it’s being met by an opposing force, your willingness to abide by mitigating factors.” So, this begs the question, are we tough enough? I say hell yes.

Together, we’re going to make this industry thrive and continue to build WV’s future!
Until the entire government realizes that it’s all on the same team, with a unified mission, we will fail. Silos, power grabs and attention seeking do nothing to pave roads, educate children, protect the innocent, build infrastructure, stem the drug crisis or grow our economy.
All, let’s take a deep breath, realize what is happening is serious, take the appropriate precautions and be good to each other. Remember that being calm and courteous and hygienic will be huge. We’re a big amazing mountaineer family and we will get through this together.
Any perceived or rumored disunity in the Republican Party, or amongst its leaders is just that. Perception fueled by idol rumors.

On Election Day we do a few things-

4. Watch the movie “the campaign”

6. Reflect on the race - and what I’ve learned.

The message from church today: mercy overcomes judgment. It’s not our job to bifurcate and marginalize others, it’s our job to love our neighbors as we love ourselves.
Very excited to announce our re-election campaign! Please join us tonight in Bridgeport as we begin our final run for Auditor. I have been honored to begin the process of transforming our government to be efficient, effective and transparent. We need four more to finish the job!
Stay home, wash your hands, take this seriously, don’t hoard goods, take care of each other, stay positive, exercise if you can. BE NICE. These are simple steps that save lives, livelihoods and time. Just do it. If not for you, do it for everyone else.

I am devastated at the loss of My friend John K. Bailey. He was a devoted public servant, a great lawyer, but more than any of that, a devoted husband and father. John was honest, smart, and good. He will be missed dearly.
West Virginia Is on the rise. We have much work to do but there is a palpable excitement around this amazing place. There is a confidence that tomorrow is going to be better than today. The pride that people have knowing that the world is looking at WV is evident at every

Growing up here, there was nothing, and I mean nothing, cooler than Chuck Yeager. His stories captivated us all, his heroism inspired us, and he gave us all pride. God speed General, your legend will live forever.

Covid relief funds are coming to WV’s local governments. It’s enough 💵 to effectuate generational change. We must avoid the pathetic fate of so many federal dollars sent to WV. Transparency, creativity and planning are key.

I challenge every group I speak to, to do one thing:find people you disagree with and have a disagreement. Learn to be comfortable with people who have different opinions than you. We have become dangerously fractured through isolation and social media. It’s time right the ship.
RBG was a person, not a seat. She was a trailblazer, and the barriers she broke, the mountains she climbed and the example she set will inspire forever. Her life and legacy far outshine our fleeting politics of the immediate, something I’m sure she’d be very happy about.

Folks, this virus is not an r or a d. The time is not now to score political points. The time now is to rally together, listen to our leaders and protect ourselves and importantly our most vulnerable. We can and will prevail.

Proper governance requires thick skin, patience and an outlook that understands the short term but favors the long. Social media has eroded all three. It’s fascinating and scary to watch.
Days like today, when I see
@WVAuditor
staff doing all the right things, treating our fellow West Virginians with kindness and urgency, and generally delivering great government, make me so proud to have been given this honor.
It’s our job as government officials to support the free press with timely accurate information. It’s the press’ job to tell the public the truth. It’s the publics job to hold us all accountable. Trust in our institutions is at an all time low, this is how we rebuild.
Merry Christmas to all! Huge morning tomorrow, can’t wait to see the joy on the faces of the two that make my world complete. I hope everyone has a moment to reflect on the joy in their life and the amazing gifts we all share.

So, I’ll have a thanksgiving message later, but for now, let me just say this. There’s so many posts on here about “how to be civil” and “how to endure” thanksgiving. This is so ridiculous. Respect each other. Laugh. Have a cold adult beverage. Enjoy life amongst loved ones.
I couldn’t have been luckier to have been raised by the greatest mom on earth. You’re not here with us now, but your work, your values and your spirit live on! Hard to believe, but I get to watch an equally incredible woman raise our girls, I’m blessed beyond belief.
#MotherDay
Please see my opponent’s reaction to today’s news. A remarkable misunderstanding of West Virginians - but more importantly a misunderstanding of the legal process, what political prosecution looks like and the eventual overturning and acquittal of President Trump.
A lot of “dunking” today about an article talking about population decline in WV. Obviously plenty of blame to go around, but the subtle gloating is infuriating. I’m focused on our incredible potential and reasonable solutions. Whose with me?

Politics is inherently non-linear and as complicated as the human mind. Building bridges with those you disagree is the foundation of good politics, and this has been lost in linear sound bite analysis. It’s dangerous. Go find someone you disagree with and have a coffee.

The passage of Amendment 2 begins comprehensive tax reform which will lead to lower tax burdens on hardworking WVians, allow existing small businesses to prosper, and in turn, fuel job growth, while allowing us to find less regressive ways of fully funding our local govts.
