I am excited to announce that today, I officially filed to run for governor of our great state under the Mountain Party ticket. I am humbled by the support and encouragement I have received from members of our community who believe in my vision for a better West Virginia. However, as I paid the filing fee of just shy of $1,900, I couldn't help but think about how classist this system is.

I’m taking a pause on talking about international policy for a moment to talk about something alarming happening right here at home. House Republicans are quietly drafting legislation that would let a small batch of lawmakers completely destroy Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid using closed-door committee meetings, totally out of sight of the American people.
