To the Editor,

West Virginia has a gas reservoir underneath our state worth a small fortune. We need to exploit this natural resource as a matter of priority to improve the lives of all of our citizens.

Mark Zatezalo is the man with the background ideally suited to help lead this effort. He is a candidate for the House of Delegates in the First District.

His 40 years of experience as a geologist dealing with environmental issues make him a solid choice to help see that development is done in an environmentally responsible manner.

During Mark’s earlier service in the Legislature, he was strong on all aspects of the war on drugs, from supporting legislation to make stricter penalties for drug dealers to supporting rehabilitation efforts. He is also a pro-life advocate who is a strong Second Amendment supporter.

We need experienced people to help decide important issues that will benefit the people of the first District. Mark Zatezalo is the right person to get things done.

Brig. Gen. John C. “Doc” Bahnsen Jr., US Army (Ret.)
