West Virginia Can’t Afford More Moore
The race isn’t about left against right, or red against blue.
It’s about honoring people over political games.
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.
How do Steven Wendelin and Riley Moore stack up?
Who They Serve
Wendelin
Serves West Virginia
Steven’s campaign is powered by small-dollar supporters and people who live and work here in West Virginia.
No corporate money.
No political action committees.
No strings attached.
Moore
Serves Washington insiders
Riley is loyal to national party leaders, big-dollar donors, and political committees based outside of West Virginia.
Those connections shape priorities — often pulling attention away from the real needs of West Virginians and their families.
West Virginia vs. Washington, D.C.
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.
Moore
Built in Washington, D.C.
Riley’s career has been built by Washington’s political and lobbying elite.
That system rewards access and attention — even when it takes time, focus, and accountability away from West Virginia.
Leadership
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.
Moore
Ready for the Cameras
Riley often chases national attention, looks for media hits, and stages political photo ops designed to be seen.
That may grab headlines — but it leaves West Virginia families wondering when their needs will be served.
Kitchen-Table Economics
Wendelin
Delivers Solutions
Steven’s platform answers the money worries West Virginians face every month:
Rent and housing
Healthcare and prescriptions
Utilities
Retirement security
A job should pay enough to live with dignity.
Moore
Talk, But No Relief
Riley relies on broad talking points while West Virginian families keep falling behind.
Mountaineers don’t need slogans.
They need lower bills and real relief they can see.
Healthcare & Cost of Living
Wendelin
Healthcare Matters
Steven believes healthcare should never bankrupt families or trap people in bad jobs.
He supports:
Protecting rural hospitals and clinics
Lowering prescription drug prices
Expanding mental health and addiction care
Making coverage affordable and reliable
Access to affordable healthcare isn’t a political issue — it’s a human right.
Moore
Process Over People
Riley used procedural political games to make healthcare unaffordable for millions of Americans.
When costs rise, Washington doesn’t pay the price — West Virginians do.
Money, Motives & Accountability
Wendelin
Service First
Steven rejects corporate money and campaigning with spam emails and texts.
The funds he raises go toward:
Talking with voters
Community outreach
Basic operations
Public service is a trust — not a business model
Moore
Business As Usual
Riley’s campaigns rely on the standard D.C. model of consultants, committees, and political infrastructure.
That system is expensive, insulated, and often disconnected from everyday life in West Virginia
Democracy & Rule of Law
Wendelin
A Promise to the People
Steven taught ethics and believes democracy only works when people trust the rules.
He supports:
Fair elections
Equal enforcement of the law
Transparency and accountability
Rejecting political violence
The Constitution is a promise to the people — not a weapon.
Moore
Gaming the System
Riley has shown a willingness to use procedural tricks even when people’s healthcare and livelihoods are at stake.
Just because something is allowed doesn’t mean it’s right — and West Virginians can tell the difference.
West Virginia doesn’t need a savior. It needs a servant.
This race isn’t about ideology. It’s about priorities.
Mountaineers can’t afford more Moore.
