Reason for Seeking Public Office:

West Virginia needs leaders who are more concerned with the next generation than they are the next election. Evan Hansen is just such a leader. As a scientist and a successful small businessman, Evan will bring a unique and much-needed skill set to Charleston. He's supported by business owners and labor leaders. He can work with both sides to get things done. That's why Evan Hansen will be a Delegate we can all be proud of.
