“West Virginia, you have been used, lied to, and forgotten by Donald Trump and his minions in DC and Charleston.”
I'm running for West Virginia's 2nd Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2026.
- This is no longer about Democrats vs. Republicans or left vs. right; it is about democracy vs. oligarchy; freedom vs. tyranny. -
--- They're making West Virginians sicker, poorer, and stealing our freedoms. It's time we take our House back from the billionaires.

Tired of living in the “Divided” States of America?
Had enough of fear mongering and finger pointing?
Fed up with politicians pandering to billionaires and corporations instead of balancing the budget?
I’m Commander Steven Wendelin, a retired naval officer, combat veteran, and proven leader with decades of experience.
I believe government should work for the citizens it’s meant to serve.
As an independently-minded, working class Democrat running for Congress in West Virginia’s 2nd District, I’m ready to fight the corruption, restore our rights, and return the power back to the people.
“If we keep sending the same kind of people to Washington, we’ll keep getting the same poor results.”
“I believe there’s a better way.
Let me be your voice in Washington”
They’re Making Us Sicker — I’ll Fight Back
Affordable healthcare for every West Virginian.
No cuts to Medicaid. No closing of rural hospitals.
Take on Big Pharma and greedy insurance companies.
They’re Making Us Poorer — I’ll Stand Up for Working Families
No more tax giveaways to billionaires while working families struggle.
Protect and strengthen Social Security — remove the income cap so it’s there for the next generation.
Strong, free public schools so every child can succeed.
Stop burying our kids under trillions in national debt for the 1%’s short-term gain.
They’re Stealing Our Rights — I’ll Defend Our Democracy
Restore the rule of law — no one above it, no one beneath it.
Keep politicians out of your personal healthcare decisions.
End gerrymandering, protect voting rights, expand ballot access.
Get big money out of politics — put people first.
