Why Ryan Is Running
A message from Ryan about recovery, service, and why District 30 deserves a delegate who has lived what this community is living.
I have lived in West Virginia my whole life. I have watched neighbors leave for work in other states, watched families lose people to addiction, and watched good communities get told to wait their turn.
I have also watched what happens when someone gets help close to home: they stay. They work. They coach a team, they show up for their kids, they rebuild something. That is not theory to me — it is the work I have done for years.
I am running for the House of Delegates because District 30 deserves a representative who has sat in those rooms and knows what actually helps. Not slogans. Services, jobs, schools, and honest stewardship of the money we all put in.
This campaign is going to be built the way anything lasting in West Virginia gets built: by neighbors, one conversation at a time. I hope you will be part of it.
Ryan Elkins, candidate for the West Virginia House of Delegates, District 30
