JB McCuskey in 2024 WV Governor's race
On Crime:
Supports putting armed security guards in public schools
McCuskey says public schools should include armed security guards to protect students and staff in the event of an active shooter situation. "This is about protecting immediate safety of a large portion of the students," McCuskey said. "These are people
that are going to be seen as police officers in the schools. They are there to protect the students from outside threats."Having an armed guard at the school could deter a potential shooter from entering the building, McCuskey said.

On Free Trade:
Ban China, Russia, Saudis from buying West Virginia property
[On land purchases]: "As many work to try to build a globalist society, it has never been more important to protect domestic energy production & our domestic food supply chains," McCuskey said. "There are no protections in place to prevent the Chinese,
Russian, or Saudi Arabian governments from purchasing property or mineral interests in W.V. These governments have proven themselves to be enemies of American prosperity, thus it is our duty to ensure that they cannot leverage our own assets against us."
