On the Campaign Trail

While many teenagers have no interest in politics, the decisions made by those we elect effect our lives on a daily basis. There are two House of Delegates seats open in the 19th District which includes most of Wayne County. There are four candidates: Democrat Kenneth Hicks, Democrat Don Perdue, Republican Randy Tomblin, and, the basis of my article, Republican Steve Marcum. 

Recently through Spring Valley High School's Young Republicans Club I was given the opportunity to meet Marcum, where he invited us to see what a grassroots campaign is like. Grassroots campaigns are the smallest, but often the hardest campaigns to take part in. On Thursday October 2nd, I had the opportunity to go into the battlefield as Marcum, his daughter Carri, and myself went door-to-door in Ceredo and handed out cards promoting the campaign. We had a lot of positive responses and made it to almost a hundred houses in a little under two hours.

Steve Marcum stands for the Constitution's importance in government affairs, the Second Amendment, the necessity of a well-developed education for our state's future, and is a strong supporter of coal. With Steve Marcum what you see is what you get; he is a down-to-earth candidate who cares for his state. Be sure to tell your parents to get out and vote, even if it's not for Marcum!
