Our Values

Common ground is where we can find practical, pragmatic solutions to the problems that confront West Virginians and their communities. Common sense is a philosophy that is grounded in the premise that most people want the same things — to be safe, healthy, prosperous, and happy. Key values core to common sense leadership:

• Respect individual rights

• Consider all perspectives

• Clarify wants and prioritize needs

• Channel emotion to find common ground consensus

• Base decisions in logic and reason
