ON THE ROAD

I was honored to join the First Lady and Acting Secretary McAleenan in Huntington this week to bring national attention to how West Virginians on the front lines are fighting the opioid epidemic. They got to hear first-hand from those fighting every day and about the impacts the opioid epidemic is having on Huntington and communities across our state. The new and innovative ways our first responders and our drug courts are fighting the opioid epidemic in Huntington are crucial to ending this crisis across our country. I look forward to continuing to work with President Trump, the First Lady, and Acting Secretary McAleenan to find an end to this horrible crisis.

Following the roundtables, Acting Secretary McAleenan and I visited the Marshall University Forensic Science Center. The center provides critical forensic testing services to criminal justice systems in West Virginia and throughout the country. Marshall is providing an essential service by assisting federal and state law enforcement in their work to combat drug trafficking.

Representative JoBeth Delawder joined members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars 5781 and VFW Department of WV to unveil the Veteran’s Memorial in Harman on July 4th. Made possible by the VFW and Volunteer Fire Department Company 46, this memorial dedication was particularly special because it was nearly cancelled due  to flooding just days prior. Instead, this strong community was able to celebrate a beautiful Independence Day event.

As your U.S. Senator, I am proud to be your voice with government agencies during your time of need.

While I have no direct jurisdiction in legal or administrative matters of any federal, state, or local agency, I welcome the opportunity to assist you in any way possible and to assure that full consideration is given to your case. See one of our recent success stories below:

Ms. Barbara Radcliff, from Camden-on-Gauley, requested the Senator’s assistance with her 2018 tax returns.  The IRS was unable to verify her wages.  As a result of the Caseworker Kim Berry's inquiry on the Senator's behalf, her wages were verified by the IRS and she received her 2018 tax refund.
