This Race Matters
There are people in West Virginia who don't even realize we have an elected Commissioner of Agriculture. There are people who don't think the Commissioner matters to them unless they operate a farm. There are people who just don't care.

I'm glad you're not one of those people, and you've chosen to visit our Web site to find out more about my candidacy.

Today more than ever, the person who oversees the West Virginia Department of Agriculture matters to you and every resident of the state.

The Agriculture Commissioner plays a vital role in protecting consumers and ensuring the safety of our food supply. He works with legions of employees in various departments as well as legislators and members of the public to craft regulations that protect our people without placing undue burdens on our family farms. He helps protect our land, water and air while also expanding opportunities for agricultural employment.

He cooperates with the Department of Commerce to maximize the potential for sales of products and visits by tourists.
