At His Good News magazine, the importance of informed voting is paramount. As the election for West Virginia’s House of Delegates and State Senate approaches, a comprehensive examination of the candidates running for these positions becomes essential. Over the next few weeks, the magazine will feature responses from each candidate to 6 identical questions, providing a clear view of their stances on critical issues that resonate with Christian families and the broader community.

Candidates have been asked to address a range of significant topics, including religious freedom, educational choices for parents, and the expansion of the Hope Scholarship program. These questions aim to uncover how each candidate’s faith influences their leadership and policy decisions. Additionally, insights into their professional backgrounds will highlight the experiences that equip them to effectively represent West Virginia voters’ interests.

A key focus will be on the protection of religious liberties and the right of parents to choose the best educational path for their children, whether through public schools, private institutions, or homeschooling. The Hope Scholarship program, which empowers parents to align their child’s education with personal values, is set to expand to all K-12 students in the next two years. Candidates will share their views, plans, and commitment to educational freedom and family values.

Moreover, the candidates will elaborate on what “conservative values” mean to them and how these values distinguish their approaches from those of their liberal counterparts. This exploration will ask them to identify the three most pressing challenges facing West Virginia today, providing a comparative analysis of how different political philosophies aim to address these issues.

What sets this coverage apart is the commitment to presenting the candidates' responses exactly as received—unedited and unfiltered. This approach ensures that the true voices and intentions of the candidates are heard, free from media bias or external interpretation. Readers will gain an authentic understanding of each candidate’s priorities and how their policies align with the values cherished by the community.

By providing direct access to the candidates’ viewpoints, His Good News magazine aims to bridge the gap between voters and their potential representatives. In an era where campaign promises and political rhetoric can often obscure true intentions, this initiative seeks to offer clarity and transparency. The detailed responses will aid in discerning which candidates genuinely represent the values and priorities of voters.

As the election draws nearer, staying informed about the candidates’ positions on key issues becomes increasingly important. This series serves as a valuable resource for understanding the diverse perspectives and proposed solutions that candidates bring to the table. It emphasizes the significance of choosing leaders who are not only capable but also aligned with the foundational values that support a thriving and morally grounded society.

Stay tuned for the first installment in this series, as the candidates' positions are revealed in their own words. This election will shape the future of West Virginia, and understanding the positions of those seeking office is crucial as voting approaches.
