MANCHIN REGISTERS AS INDEPENDENT

"My commitment to do everything I can to bring our country together has led me to register as an independent with no party affiliation."

"We need to come together as a country, making sure both parties have the opportunity to bring the best ideas forward to fix the problems that we all face. The American brand is the one I carry most proudly and it always will be – I can be more effective as an independent than by having a D or an R next to my name and I look forward to working with you all to fix the broken system that the political parties have taken control of.”

Jeanie of Gap Mills contacted my office for help with her pending application for weatherization assistance. After being told she met the criteria, she continued to experience delays. As a result of an inquiry from my office to the West Virginia Housing Development Fund, Jeanie was approved for weatherization assistance.
