On a scale of “Strongly Agree” (5) to “Strongly Disagree,” (1) rank your position on the following statements:
Vaccines are safe: 5
Vaccines are effective at preventing disease: 4
Keeping children safe is a shared responsibility: 5
What is your position on West Virginia’s current school vaccine requirements (which allow only medical exemptions)?
Maintain current requirements
In your view, what role should the state play in ensuring access to vaccines—especially in rural or underserved communities?
I believe "free clinics along with the Health Dept" should offer vaccinations to the public.
Which of the following best reflects your understanding?
Vaccines primarily protect the individual receiving them
Vaccines help protect both individuals and the broader community
Vaccination is largely a personal decision with limited community impact
Vaccination is a personal decision regardless of community impact
If a preventable disease outbreak (such as measles) occurred in your district, what actions—if any—would you take as a policymaker (e.g., make a statement regarding safety, coordinate with public health officials, take policy actions, encourage vaccination, etc.
I would demand the State Health Dept and local Health Dept provide extra vaccinations, if there was a local issue. Also, radio and television communications will need to be broadcast. As a Legislator, proper funding will be needed to ensure these things are enacted, or they will fail. The medical expertise should be utilized to combat the disease.
Is there anything else you would like West Virginia voters to know about your approach to public health, community wellbeing, and/or vaccines?
I support the immunization system currently in place. All of my children and family have been disease free, with Covid as the only exception. It is evident by data, that West Virginia is one of the safest states to live due to immunizations. Our state needs to maintain that ranking to save our children, grandparents, health compromised, and all citizens.
