On Drugs: City is a national model for how to deal with opioid crisis

During the height of the opioid addiction crisis, Huntington was hit hard, at one point registering 28 overdoses in a four hour period. Williams marshaled community leaders and city resources and got to work. He created quick response teams and employed innovative new treatment options to help overdose victims find ways to break the cycle of addiction. Huntington went from being known as ground zero for the opioid crisis to being a national model for how to deal with the drug epidemic.

On Principles & Values: Mayor of city selected America's Best Community in 2017

Elected Mayor in 2012, Steve inherited a city in sharp decline. Essential services were being cut, first responders faced layoffs, and the city's bond rating was downgraded as it struggled to pay its bills. As Mayor, Steve took decisive action to overcome these challenges and in 2017 Huntington was selected the $3 million grand prize winner of the America's Best Communities competition from among 350 cities nationwide.

On Principles & Values: I want West Virginia to be a model for what's possible

If we can do all this in Huntington, we can do it in the rest of West Virginia. I want to use the lessons I've learned as Mayor, as an investment banker, as city manager, and as a member of the House of Delegates, to build West Virginia into the kind of state we're all proud to call home. I want West Virginia to be a model for what's possible when people of good will work together. As your Governor, and with your help, I know that West Virginia's best days are still ahead of us.
