I’m Steven Wendelin. As a proud Democrat, I know the backbone of our country is working families and labor.
But today, those core American values are under attack. The battle is not about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right — It’s about democracy versus oligarchy — freedoms versus tyranny.
The choice is yours.
Washington and Charleston politicians are making us
sicker, poorer, and stealing our rights.
And Riley Moore is leading the attack against West Virginia.
Riley voted to cut Medicaid coverage from 17 million Americans in order to give his corporate and wealthy donors billions of dollars in tax cuts.
Medicaid cuts don’t just affect the poor — they impact all of us. When Medicaid gets cut — rural hospitals, clinics, and assisted living facilities close.
Trump promised he’d make America great again.
He BROKE that promise.
Instead, with Riley Moore’s support, Trump pushed through his “Big UGLY Bill” and now —
50,000 Mountaineers will LOSE their Medicaid,
7 hospitals in our state will CLOSE.
84,000 West Virginians will have their food assistance TAKEN AWAY.
700 high-paying federal jobs were LOST in our state.
WHY?
So Trump can give tax cuts to his billionaire buddies and corporate donors.
RILEY VOTED for tax cuts for billionaires and AGAINST YOU.
This is your chance to VOTE AGAINST RILEY and VOTE FOR A BETTER LIFE for all Mountaineers!
Freedom is on the ballot in 2026.
Vote for your democracy before it’s lost forever!
I’m Commander Steven Wendelin, retired naval officer, combat veteran, and proven leader with decades of experience.
Send me to Washington and I’ll fight for YOU, not billionaires.
My loyalty is to the Constitution and the people of West Virginia.
Riley “MAGA" Moore is loyal only to Donald Trump.
Riley supports —
Using your taxes to attack people Trump doesn’t like because they exercise their freedom of speech.
Wasting time criticizing late-night comedians instead of keeping prices from spiraling out of control.
Sending our National Guard to pick up trash in D.C. instead of prioritizing disaster relief in our own state.
Jobs are disappearing while grocery, utility, and healthcare
bills skyrocket — with no sign of stopping.
Trump saved coal industry CEOs millions and betrayed workers by refusing to enforce safety measures to prevent deadly black lung disease. Biden put those measures in place. Trump chose to ignore them.
What did Riley Moore do to protect miners? Nothing.
Riley comes from a family of politicians known for their corruption. With Moore, Miller, Capito, and Justice at the wheel, West Virigina is headed straight for a ditch.
West Virginia can’t survive “Moore” of the same.
It’s time to change course
before it’s too late!
When Riley and I ran in 2024, he was too cowardly to face me or the people of West Virginia. Now he’s cheering while Trump robs our country blind and steals our freedoms.
Riley takes money from any corporation willing to write him a check. In return, he does exactly what they want.
I refuse to take contributions from anyone who expects me to put greed above the needs of West Virginians.
Riley assumes he’ll get your vote because he’s Republican. That’s why he feels free to steal your medical coverage, bankrupt local hospitals and emergency rooms, make you pay more to put food on the table and gas in your car, and allow our nation’s farmers to go broke.
It’s time we all said — NO MOORE!
It’s time to take our country back from fanatics who want to destroy it.
Riley Moore doesn’t think you can be trusted to make your own healthcare decisions.
He has a record of defunding public schools and giving the money to the wealthy to pay for their kids’ private education.
He doesn’t believe in free speech and thinks judges should ignore the law.
Riley doesn’t believe in the Constitution itself.
When I joined the Navy over 39 years ago, I swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution. That oath has no expiration date.
Riley hates everything I stand for including fair pay and fair share taxes, public education, access to healthcare, and protecting seniors, children, veterans, and the environment.
That’s because MAGA extremists hate freedom and they see everything as a win/lose proposition.
They proved it when they stripped American women of their right to make deeply personal healthcare decisions.
They proved it when they hired masked thugs to drag innocent people from their homes and throw them into prisons or exile them to foreign lands without due process.
They proved it when they released violent criminals from prison and took away your freedom to safely walk the streets.
MAGA extremists like the Heritage Foundation are turning our America into a third-world country with no respect for the freedoms guaranteed by our Constitution.
What’s to stop them from taking away YOUR freedom next?
Trump and his MAGA cronies like Riley Moore have declared war on anyone who isn’t rich. They raise taxes on working families and cut taxes for billionaires.
On paper, the United States is thriving — record stock market highs, Silicon Valley billionaires, unmatched military power. But thanks to MAGA, ordinary Americans are anxious, overworked, and buried in debt.
Republicans have caused nine of the last ten recessions. They’ve made America a debtor nation to fatten their bank accounts.
Housing eats half the average paycheck. Medical bills push families into bankruptcy. Gun deaths outnumber car accidents.
The richest country in human history has become one of the hardest places to build a healthy, secure life.
But there’s still time to turn things around.
Your vote CAN make the difference.
Together we can save West Virginia from these corrupt politicians and their fanatical followers.
A vote for me is a vote for a safer, richer, healthier West Virginia.
I’m a patriot who supports our Constitution and respects my fellow West Virginians.
Riley Moore supports multinational corporations who only respect profits.
I think we deserve clean air and water.
Riley doesn’t.
I support affordable prescription drugs.
Riley is against it.
I believe that responsible gun ownership and the safety of our children is not mutually exclusive.
Riley doesn’t care about your kids’ safety.
I believe there’s a better way.
Let me be your voice in Washington.

Affordable healthcare for every West Virginian.
No cuts to Medicaid. No closing of rural hospitals.
