Ricketts for West Virginia Auditor

Friends and Family. I am running for State Auditor of West Virginia. Many of you are probably asking why. As someone who is economically conservative, but socially very accepting, I have come to realize that neither of the two main parties speaks for me. Working within the Republican party for since 2008, I have seen the corruption and cronyism that blatantly exists. Being a resident of WV I have seen the economically destructive policies of the Democratic party which has run West Virginia for over 80 years. As someone who is not rich, who has struggled many times in life, I seek this office for one reason only. To expose the cronyism and wasteful spending of state agencies. Every year these departments ask for more of our tax money and every year very little changes come from those collected taxes. Reports have shown that many state agencies and departments are hoarding money, yet asking for more, and even spending that money frivolously just not to lose it. It's time someone, who is not beholden to either political party is there to expose this waste and fraud! I'm asking for your help! the democrats and republicans have made it difficult for 3rd party candidates to run. Just the filing fees alone are almost $1,000. I need to raise as much as I can by May 7th just to have my name on the ballot. Any amount you can give will be greatly appreciated. Even if it's just a few dollars. I'm in this to win and to shake things up. Join me!
