Mccoy for wv93
Meet Tara
I chose the Constitution Party because government's job is to protect our God-given rights not redefine them or chip away at them over time.
The Constitution was written, in part, to "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity." That's exactly why I'm running.
I want my children and grandchildren to inherit the same liberties earlier generations fought to protect: government that stays limited, stays accountable to the people, and stays committed to defending life, liberty, property, and family.
Why the Constitution Party?
I'm a wife, mother, grandmother, Christian, homeschool parent, military and law-enforcement spouse, and lifelong grassroots political activist.
My faith has shaped who I am from the beginning. My father was a church planter, and I met my husband at Bible college. We've stayed active in Bible-believing churches ever since, where I've served in worship leadership, Sunday school, and other ministries.
My husband served eight years in the Marine Corps, including three deployments during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, I supported other military families as a USMC Key Volunteer during that time. After his military service, he moved into law enforcement, both locally and federally. Together, that's given our family a firsthand understanding of the sacrifices made by service members, officers, first responders, and the families behind them.
My husband and I raised four boys, three are grown, one is still in middle school. I homeschooled all four for significant stretches of their education, just as I was homeschooled myself from sixth grade on. Our family has also experienced public and private schooling, so I understand the challenges families face no matter which path they choose.
I've spent my adult life working with campaigns and grassroots organizations, including as a membership and state coordinator for Smart Girl Politics in multiple states. Now I'm ready to put that experience to work for the people of District 93.
My Priorities
I'm running for the West Virginia House of Delegates because I want to help preserve the freedom that makes West Virginia home not just for us, but for our children and grandchildren.
Montani Semper Liberi "Mountaineers Are Always Free" should be more than our state motto. It should be our way of life.
I want future generations of West Virginians to inherit a state where God-given rights are respected, families are free to make their own decisions, innocent life is protected, and government answers to the people it serves.
Why I'm Running
Fourth Amendment & Personal Privacy
West Virginians shouldn't have to trade constitutional rights for promises of security. As technology reaches deeper into daily life, Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures matter more, not less. I'll stand for personal privacy, due process, and real limits on unwarranted government surveillance.
Protecting West Virginia's Future
West Virginians shouldn't have to trade constitutional rights for promises of security. As technology reaches deeper into daily life, Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures matter more, not less. I'll stand for personal privacy, due process, and real limits on unwarranted government surveillance.
Health Freedom & Parental Rights
Families, and not government bureaucracies, should make personal healthcare decisions. I oppose government vaccine mandates and support parents' right to make informed healthcare choices for their children according to their own convictions.
Protecting Innocent Life
The right to life is the foundation every other liberty rests on. I believe unborn children deserve protection, and that government has a responsibility to defend innocent human life from conception. My commitment to freedom includes those who can't speak for or defend themselves.
Educational & Parental Freedom
Parents, not government, bear the primary responsibility for raising and educating their children. My own family has experienced homeschooling, private education, and public education, and I understand families' needs differ. I'll defend the right of West Virginia parents to direct their children's upbringing and education as they see fit.
My Commitment to District 93
I'm not running just to hold an office. I'm running to represent you.
District 93 deserves a representative willing to listen, ask hard questions, defend constitutional principles, and remember that political authority ultimately belongs to the people.
