<h4>Event title here</h4>

<p>West Virginia deserves economic growth that benefits our communities—not growth that comes at the expense of our water, farmland, or local voice. I support responsible data center development, only with strong environmental safeguards, fair taxation, and transparency. Most importantly, I believe local communities should have a meaningful say in projects that affect their land, natural resources, and quality of life. Decisions that shape our future should be made by West Virginians, not for them. The following bills have been sponsored by Delegates Kayla Young and Evan Hansen to "put the power back in the hands of the people". The only way this legislation will pass is by flipping seats in November.</p><ul><li><p>HB 4509 - Restoring local control over data centers</p></li><li><p>HB 4822 - Redirecting data center tax revenue to healthcare, counties, and schools</p></li><li><p>HB 4832 - Protecting groundwater and streams from data center impacts</p></li><li><p>HB 4195 - Placing a two-year cap on electric rates</p></li></ul>

<p>Economic growth should strengthen our communities—not sacrifice them.</p>

Write a short blurb about an issue your campaign is highlighting. Try to keep the text a similar size between the various issue blurbs.

<h2>DATA CENTER REGULATION &amp; COMMUNITY CONTROL</h2>

<p>West Virginia's future depends on the education we provide our children today. I believe every student deserves the opportunity to succeed through well-funded public schools, supported teachers, responsible use of taxpayer dollars, and accountability across all education options. My goal is to strengthen education while ensuring every child has access to a high-quality learning environment that prepares them for the future.</p>

<p>Every child deserves access to a quality education, regardless of where they live or how they learn. I will fight to fully fund our public schools, support our teachers, and ensure every education dollar is spent responsibly and with accountability.</p>
