West Virginia Can’t Afford More Moore
The race between Wendelin and Moore isn’t about left versus right.
It’s about West Virginia versus Washington, D.C.
Two candidates. Two opposing sets of priorities.
Two very different ideas about who government should serve.
West Virginia needs someone who shows up, tells the truth, and puts people first.
So how do Steven Wendelin and Riley Moore compare?
Who They Serve
Steven Wendelin
Serves West Virginia
Wendelin’s campaign is powered by small-dollar supporters and people who live and work here.
No corporate money.
No political action committees.
No strings attached.
Riley Moore
Serves Washington insiders
Moore is loyal to national party leaders, donor networks, and political committees based far from West Virginia.
Those connections shape priorities — often pulling attention away from the real needs of families back home
West Virginia vs. Washington, D.C.
Steven Wendelin
Rooted in West Virginia
Steven has stayed outside Washington’s insider system.
His life, his work, and his priorities are rooted in West Virginia — not in political circles, not in lobbying offices, and not in backroom deals.
Riley Moore
Built in Washington, D.C.
Riley Moore’s career has been built inside Washington’s political and lobbying circles.
That system rewards access and attention — even when it takes time, focus, and accountability away from West Virginians.
Leadership
Steven Wendelin
Ready To Do the Work
Steven believes leadership is quiet, steady work.
Solving problems matters more than headlines.
Results matter more than getting attention.
Riley Moore
Ready for the Cameras
Riley Moore often chases national attention, looks for media hits, and stages political stunts designed to be seen.
That may grab headlines — but it leaves West Virginia families wondering what actually changed for them.
Kitchen-Table Economics
Steven Wendelin
Focused On Solutions
Steven’s platform addresses the financial issues West Virginians struggle with every month:
Rent and housing
Healthcare and prescriptions
Utilities
Retirement security
He believes a job should pay enough to live with dignity.
Riley Moore
Talk, But No Relief
Riley Moore relies on broad talking points while families keep falling behind.
West Virginians don’t need slogans.
They need lower bills and real relief they can see.
