Local US House of Representatives candidate speaks out on Wyoming County's water woes
PRINCETON, WV (WVNS) – One candidate for next year's election wants to make his voice heard on Wyoming County's water woes.
West Virginia Governor Morrisey comments on ongoing projects in Wyoming County
Larry Jackson is a republican candidate for the US House of Representatives in West Virginia District 1.
Although Jackson was born in Princeton, he is a lifelong Wyoming County resident. He was out meeting voters at the Celebrate Princeton Street Fair.
One issue he was particularly interested in is the water quality in Wyoming County. Jackson has spoken with several people about the water quality there and is concerned about its contamination.
'From my understanding, there [have] been some federal grants that have came in. That money is unaccounted for. I want to know where that money went. I want to hold people accountable. These people need held accountable. I will bring accountability back to these places [if I were to be elected]. Our tax money needs to be brought here. There is no need that anyone in southern West Virginia should be doing without clean drinking water,' said Jackson.
