About Ryan

A lifelong West Virginian who has done the work

Ryan has spent years as a recovery advocate and nonprofit leader, sitting across the table from families on the hardest day of their lives and helping them find a way forward. That experience is the whole reason he is running.

He is not a career politician. He is a neighbor who believes Charleston should make decisions with District 30 in the room.
