About Joshua
A Neighbor. Not a Politician.
A lifetime in this district.
Who I Am
I've grown up in this district, Ive watched as things continuously get worse & worse for we the people, even more so for the less fortunate, I am a father, a husband, a devoted Christian, & would love to see WV become more family oriented & an environment in which families can afford homes & thrive.
I'm not a career politician. I've never held office, never intended to, but somethings got to give, we need to get back to the basics of the constitutions, we need to restore freedom & independence, & undo or rather constitutionally void all unjust/unconstitutional laws, if a possibility presents itself.
Why Unaffiliated
No offense, I am aware there are good folks on every side, but it comes down to pattern recognition, We have two large parties that the US is generally ran by, under these parties control we have an abundance of government & regulations yet an out of control affordability crises, That is one of the many reasons I chose to be unaffiliated in the first place, I want to work for the benefit of my district & WV, & do my best to uphold the constitution, affiliated or unaffiliated doesn't matter, what matters are results.
What I Bring
I've worked beside many people in this district, served many in this district doing various jobs catering to the public, spoken with, & experienced firsthand the pain, suffering, & hardships, it brought me to the point to study the constitution, to try & understand why our government has decided our rights no longer matter.
I want to restore constitutional law, defend our rights, & legal amendments, I despise money, I hate it, I'm the type of person who would rather build from the ground up than spend a lifetime trying to afford freedom & a home for my family, I'd rather live humbly, work, & provide for my family independently, but if I try that I'd be criminalized, so, How are we "free"? how are we "independent"? when we are forced to purchase our freedom? "Freedom & independence", those are our basic human / God given rights that are being criminalized.
WV Constitution — ARTICLE III. Bill of Rights — §1. All men are, by nature, equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity, namely: The enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and of pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety.
"If 'pursuing happiness' requires being able to afford or independently build a home to provide for your family then the system has also denied you your very basic constitutional rights, when endless amounts of hard unending work can't get you a basic human need such as a home, you know the system has failed."
WV Constitution — Rights Reserved to People — §3. Government is instituted for the common benefit, protection and security of the people, nation or community. Of all its various forms that is the best, which is capable of producing the greatest degree of happiness and safety, and is most effectually secured against the danger of maladministration; and when any government shall be found inadequate or contrary to these purposes, a majority of the community has an indubitable, inalienable, and indefeasible right to reform, alter or abolish it in such manner as shall be judged most conducive to the public weal.
"I may be a nobody to this world "a somebody to God of course", coming up from nothing, but I want to see a limited government, one that upholds our rights, & refrains from taking unconstitutional actions against we the people."
"The majority of individuals in our community are opposed to flock cameras as well as Data centers. After doing my own research, Data centers emit a frequency that kills bees & has prevented citizens in certain areas from getting good rest, furthermore they have backup generators that release diesel fumes, & the data centers release forever chemicals into the environment which have been linked to cancer in humans & animals, not to mention Citizens do not want to foot the bill for them, with many enduring hardships as it stands & with them being a hazard to humans & animals alike, I would stand with & represent the district & in opposition to this unwanted & unneeded technology, furthermore pushing these data centers against the will of the people is a violation of the constitution, the rights of the people, & contrary to defending the posterity of the people."
"Isn't WV supposed to be 'Wild & Wonderful'? What will be left for the posterity of this state if the land is consumed by technology, which is growing faster than weeds & has become a massive burden. Technology is always sold as a 'luxury' then it becomes a systemic requirement burdening everyone financially & rarely solving any degree of problems, anybody else ever notice that?"
US Constitution — Fourteenth Amendment, Section 1 — All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
"This is the US Constitution, This is what I stand for, but I wanted to emphasize 'The right to life', the moment that another human being is seen as 'unfit for life', 'subhuman', or "not human" America has become no different than nazi Germany, this should be common sense, it really should, & defending life is a constitutional law even though many oppose it, for me, it's not debatable, everyone deserves a chance at life, & when another individual's life is not protected by the constitution then what regulations will be honored when it comes to our own lives? It's protect all citizens or none, that is what this comes down to."
US Constitution — 13th Amendment, Section 1 — "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
"Unfortunately Slavery has been reinstated in WV. This was a bill passed in 2025 — House Bill 2382. The bill prohibits camping in public spaces, my concern is that it violates the US constitution's 13th amendment as is. Making camping illegal on streets and places of employment I can see that possibly being reasonable, but punishing people for camping in a public area out of sight where they are not hurting anyone is unreasonable."
"This bill essentially reinstated slavery — 'Work or be punished'. The law punishes not only people who do not work, but it punishes disabled folks who cannot work, as well as people who do work who simply cannot afford homes. I'm fairly certain that any issues regarding camping could be settled with existing laws — loitering around public buildings, drug laws if the individual is breaking them, as well as laws regarding littering. I can agree with people not wanting a tent on a sidewalk & in certain public areas, but next to an unpopulated river? or back in the woods out of sight isn't hurting anyone, especially if they are keeping the area clean and being responsible. People should feel free & welcome to vacation, camp, swim, or maybe their house burnt down and they need time to save. Why has slavery been reinstated & innocent people made eligible for punishment for simply trying to survive?" "Limited government, If government was limited to its original functions, there would be less taxation, I'd prefer taxation all gone personally, as I've mentioned, we have a right to our property, what's earned is our property & nobody has any business taking that away, I don't want to see the gov taxing everyone into poverty to give to others, instead rather than hurting and burdening individuals & families who can't even afford a home over taxation, communities & organizations should be present to take up the task in helping others in need, meaning then people would have a solid choice to donate to help others, unnecessary taxation could be eliminated, families could save more money & futures could be possible again, because as things are, life feels beyond hopeless for many of us & continuing as things are will only drag us down even further." "Property needs to be earnable too, it shouldn't take 70 years or working till we die simply trying to save, that's slavery, were working for nothing at that point." "We need to restore power to the people, otherwise things will never change."
US Constitution First Amendment Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. "Unfortunately, existing unconstitutional laws prevent the practice of faith, Proof: KJV 1 Timothy 5:8 reads: “But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.”, With laws that prohibit being free & independent, forcing people to be dependent on money, Government, & Corporations, requirement of licenses to do every little thing, it has become borderline impossible to practice faith and provide for ones self let alone family." "Some states are now punishing Christians for practicing their faith & silencing free speech while defending criminal acts against life, we must not allow WV to become one of them"
US Constitution Second Amendment A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. "Second Amendment? Yes."
