“I was raised in Weirton, and proudly graduated from Weir High. Today, in addition to coaching, I work every day in a public school — because I believe in investing back into the communities that raised me.”
(Quincy Wilson Campaign Website) “I attended West Virginia University, and carried an indescribable pride every time I wore the blue and gold on Saturdays. That pride comes from knowing how hard West Virginians work — not just for themselves, but for their neighborhoods and their neighbors.”
(Quincy Wilson Campaign Website) “I want to take that same grit, determination, and commitment to doing the job right, along with a willingness to listen and learn, to serve my constituents. A vote for me is a vote for improvement, collaboration, a stronger District 1 — and a better West Virginia. ”

“I strongly oppose all government bailouts of private industry. Federal bailouts reward inefficient and corrupt management, while robbing taxpayers and increasing the National Debt.”
(Ballotpedia (Campaign Themes)) “The Environmental Protection Agency must go. As Obama and his administration are ramping up their War on Coal, good paying coal mining jobs are being destroyed in our own backyards. Politicians claim they want to "rein in" the EPA, yet West Virginia keeps losing jobs and the revenue that goes with them. The only way to win the War on Coal is to target the source: The EPA must be defunded, and abolished.”
(Ballotpedia (Campaign Themes)) “Small businesses are suffering and on the verge of being closed due to the new polices of our current President. West Virginians deserve representation in Washington that won't play party politics to get ahead. If we are to protect small businesses and jobs, we must repeal Obamacare.”
