A New Era for West Virginia
September 17th, 2014, marks the 227th anniversary of the creation
of the Constitution of the United States of America. Our forefathers created the single most magnificent document of self rule
ever devised by man. Brilliantly sharing power between factions of
government, balancing power through systems of oversight, and
limiting the scope of power, so power would never be out of reach
of those who grant governance, the Constitution was and is a grand
experiment in self determination. The states, our state, play a vital
role in sharing power with the federal government.
For the last 83 years, West Virginia has been, essentially, dominated
by one party rule. To show for it, West Virginia ranks at or near the
bottom in every category measuring life, liberty and, particularly,
the pursuit of happiness. One party rule is disastrous everywhere
it is applied: Cuba, North Korea, China, the USSR and, closer to
home, Detroit. For the first time in many decades, the Mountain
State has an opportunity to alter course. The time has come to
refresh the state capitol with new faces, a different philosophy, and
better ideas. Will you become a part of a new era of vitality for
West Virginia?
We have outstanding Republican candidates running for key positions in Jefferson County, Charleston and Washington, DC. I hope
you will take time to meet them and let them hear your concerns.
As the November 4th election approaches, be proactive; it is you
who decides the direction of West Virginia and our nation.
Therefore, get informed, be involved, and vote to make our
mountain home a great place, not a last place!

Voting Districts
Every 10 years, based on a census taken by the Federal
government, the state legislatures redraw their Congressional Districts to make each one contain approximately
the same number of people. They then redraw their
state Senate and House Districts according to the same
principle. Next, the counties redraw their Magisterial
Districts and voting precincts.
U.S. Congress The 2nd
Congressional District includes seventeen counties and
stretches from the Potomac
River in the Eastern Panhandle
to the Ohio River in Jackson
County.
West Virginia State Legislature
State Senate
The 16th Senatorial District includes
all of Jefferson County and about
half of Berkeley County. It is represented by two state senators

Jefferson County Magisterial Districts and Voting Precincts
Jefferson County is divided into five Magisterial Districts and each
is divided into voting precincts. The five Magisterial Districts are
Charles Town, Harpers Ferry, Kabletown, Middleway, and Shepherdstown. County Commissioners, School Board members, and
Political Party Executive Committee members are elected based on
the Magisterial Districts. There must be one County Commissioner
from each District and there can be no more than two School Board
members from one District. Both are voted on by all of the voters
in the County. Executive Committees consist of one man and one
woman from each District. Only those voters in the District can
vote for their District’s Executive Committee members.

Jefferson County
WV Republicans
It’s my privilege to represent Jefferson County’s 66th District in the
West Virginia House of Delegates as a persevering advocate for
issues we care about including economic development, first-rate
schools, government accountability and transparency, and controlling government spending. I’m confident that West Virginia can
realize the prosperity much of the rest of the nation enjoys as we
become more competitive with our tax code, our regulatory climate
and our legal system.
Unfortunately, in many respects, I believe the 81st Legislature represented a missed opportunity to address the underlying issues that
continue to serve as impediments to economic development and
job creation in our state. However, the upcoming general election
represents an historic opportunity to dramatically change the political landscape in West Virginia and install legislative leadership that
is committed to tackling these important issues.
While the significant Republican gains in the House achieved two
years ago enabled our 47-member caucus, together with our more
moderate colleagues across the aisle, to defeat many of the misguided priorities of the Democrat leadership during the recently
concluded legislative session, it’s apparent that implementing
long-needed reforms will require further Republican inroads this
November.
I respectfully ask for your vote and would urge your support of our
Republican candidates who I know will join me in my fight for a
more prosperous West Virginia.
Sincerely yours,
Paul Espinosa
Member
West Virginia House of Delegates

e BELIEVE in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability.
s W
e BELIEVE free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative have brought this nation opportunity, economic growth
and prosperity.
s W
e BELIEVE government must practice fiscal responsibility
and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn.

e BELIEVE the proper role of government is to provide
for the people only those critical functions that cannot be
performed by individuals or private organizations; the best
government is that which governs least.

e BELIEVE the most effective, responsible and responsive
government is government closest to the people.
s W
e BELIEVE Americans must retain the principles that have
made us strong while developing new and innovative ideas to
meet the challenges of changing times.
