Communities & Safety

McCuskey stands with law enforcement officers and is committed to making our streets safer. We need to provide our law enforcement with the resources and support they need to pursue criminals and bring them to justice.

The Mountain State is one of the best places to live, work, and raise a family. For more than a decade, J.B. McCuskey has been serving West Virginians, working with mayors, commissioners, and other leaders to reduce blight and make our cities and towns more attractive to families and businesses. As State Auditor, McCuskey served as West Virginia’s Land Commissioner and helped secure funding to demolish dilapidated buildings in the state.

As Attorney General, McCuskey will continue to ensure that our communities are safe and that West Virginia continues to thrive.

Government Transparency AND ENDING CORRUPTION

Officials at all levels of government should be held accountable to the people that elect them. During his terms as State Auditor, J.B. McCuskey made government transparency and accountability a top priority, and he will continue to do so as Attorney General. J.B. has seen firsthand how damaging bureaucracy can be to government efficiency and will work to spread transparency across branches and agencies. Under his leadership, West Virginia has become one of the most transparent states in America. McCuskey created a one-of-a-kind platform to monitor government spending and prevent the abuse of taxpayer dollars.

Energy & Coal

The coal industry is the backbone of West Virginia and J.B. McCuskey knows that coal is crucial for a prosperous energy economy. It is time to put an end to the extreme policies put in place by the Federal Government that cripple our Natural Resource Industry.

We have the resources and manpower to be able to produce affordable, domestic energy right here in West Virginia. We need elected officials who want to invest in the future of West Virginia and energy independence, and put an end to the overreach and overregulation from Washington’s elite.

McCuskey supports the coal miners and their families who have dedicated their lives to powering West Virginia and America. In the House of Delegates, McCuskey sponsored legislation to improve coal mine safety. He has always been a strong voice against burdensome climate rules that harm West Virginia’s economy.

AGRICULTURE

Along with our natural resources industry; no one has faced more onerous federal regulation than our farmers. J.B. understands and appreciates the significant role the Agriculture industry plays in our economy here in West Virginia. He will fight to ensure that our economy flourishes and for food security. As Attorney General, J.B. promises to always highlight the great men and women who produce our most precious resources and will stand with them in the fight against burdensome regulations that hurt our farmers and slow down our economy.

LIFE

As a man of faith and the father of two young daughters, J.B. McCuskey believes that each life is precious. He is proudly pro-life and will always stand up to fight for our most innocent lives: the unborn.

Second Amendment

J.B. McCuskey is a proud supporter of the Second Amendment and the rights of West Virginians, and all Americans, to keep and bear arms. He will fight to ensure protection of the Second Amendment and defend policies that threaten our constitutional rights. As a constitutional conservative, J.B. will fight for the Second Amendment Rights of every West Virginian against the current unprecedented federal overreach.
