Claypole for Senate
@claypoleforwv.bsky.social
I'm Chris Claypole, and I am running for the Senate of West Virginia in the 2nd District.
Public school teachers are under appreciated considering they are entrusted with the sculpting of young minds. They work tirelessly with shoestring budgets and little structured support, and have pulled off countless miracles in shaping our collective future!

May all of us never stop learning!

This image sums it up.... For every family that needs this voucher there are several that abuse it.

Public dollars for public schools!

Speak your mind in a relaxed setting while enjoying some home cooked food. There will be more opportunities for actual parts of the district in the future. If you can't attend, and you have something you want to let me know about please reach out. I will gladly make arrangements to speak with you.
Come and enjoy some food, meet me, and tell me what's on your mind. I want to hear from all of you. #togetherwerise #westvirginia #election2026 #democracy #forthepeople

We can fight continued closings. Success can be measured by stopping the continued plans of closures and consolidations. Yes, damage has been done, but we can halt it where it stands. We must act!

We deserve better!

Fact of the day:

Unions are responsible for the creation of many of our country's greatest accomplishments. Most notably would be a robust middle class.

Just got back from a Labor Day celebration. I love being with the people who value the hard work that it takes to make West Virginia home. The coal miners and Union members of West Virginia are still some of the best people you could ever be around.

Our citizens need protection and our Bad idea factory loves to dismantle protective regulations. The continual pollution of our state for sake of profit must stop. We deserve better!

If you could change one thing to improve the state of West Virginia what would it be?

I'll go first.

Public education needs our immediate and sustained attention. Centralizing control is not the answer, but equalizing the quality is.

Yeah. You know if you saw someone with my hat you'd be jealous! Grandpas around the globe be getting jealous, but it worked at keeping me from getting melted by the heat so there's that.

Stand united for the people that can't stand on their own!

This order is trash and is meant to cause distraction through social turmoil. We need to stay focused on legitimately defeating those that support this kind of rhetoric.

I often comment about the size of my district being vast and daunting, but on a positive note it has provided me with an opportunity to meet wonderful, like minded, and caring people from every corner of it. WV still has some of the nicest people you can meet!

Proof that ideals are greater than any one person. Our entire country was founded on ideals and as long as we hold them to be self-evident then no temporary force shall ever dismantle the fiber of our nation.
