“Public service has always been important to me because I believe giving back is one of the strongest ways we can build a better future for West Virginia. I believe in supporting the arts, investing in local organizations, and respecting the right of individuals to make their own medical decisions alongside their healthcare providers. My path has not always been straightforward. Like many West Virginians, I have faced sharp turns and difficult moments along the way.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection Survey)
“I am a Constitutional Democrat. I believe all are bound to the Constitution and that no person is above the laws and principles therein. I believe it is important that checks and balances be maintained for the good of the people. It is an obligation that politicians listen to the will of the people and remember that we are civil servants. I believe we must protect individuals' rights in the many different forms they appear. I also believe that the Constitution is a living document that must be amended as the needs of the people change.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection Survey)
“WE ARE COMMITTED TO ADVOCATING FOR YOUR INTERESTS AND DRIVING REAL CHANGE IN THE STATE CAPITOL.” (Daniel Miller Campaign Website)

“After retiring from the US Treasury, Sandy worked for the Department of Justice's State and Local Anti-Terrorism Training (SLATT) program, training in all 50 states, Israel, and Puerto Rico. He consulted on terrorism projects at nine major US banks and authored "Trace It," a financial investigation guide which was given free to over 144,000 prosecutors and law enforcement officials. With the permission of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Adams, the book was dedicated to their daughter, Mary Lou Hague who perished on 9/11.” (Jeffrey Sandy Campaign Website)
