Ben Salango on Principles & Values

	Ben Salango on Principles & Values

Focused on public service rather than self-service

West Virginia needs a governor who is focused on public service rather than self-service. As a lawyer, I've always fought for the little guy and stood up against corruption and waste. As a county commissioner, I've worked to make the Kanawha Valley a better place for residents to live and work by diversifying the economy, supporting law enforcement and public safety, and helping small businesses.

Shouldn't have to sue governor to live in capital city

A lawsuit is pending before the West Virginia Supreme Court about the governor's lack of residency in the capital city. "I wasn't born wealthy. I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth," Salango said. "We need somebody with energy, somebody who is going to bring new ideas, somebody who is going to move West Virginia forward, not somebody you have to sue just to get them to show up to work."
