Kevin Westley Carpenter
Kevin Westley Carpenter is an attorney and Democratic candidate dedicated to representing the people of Central West Virginia with integrity, fairness, and accountability.
Kevin believes leadership starts with listening. Throughout his legal career, he has advocated for individuals who needed someone willing to stand up for them and navigate complex systems with honesty and determination. That experience shaped his belief that government should work for everyday people—not special interests or political insiders.
Raised with strong values rooted in hard work, community, and responsibility, Kevin understands the challenges facing Braxton and Gilmer Counties. From economic uncertainty to access to healthcare and infrastructure, he knows these issues require practical solutions—not empty promises.
Kevin is running to bring transparency, respect, and people-focused leadership back to public service. His campaign is about restoring trust in government and ensuring Central West Virginia has a voice that truly represents its communities.
From the Law to Public Service
As an attorney, Kevin has spent years advocating for individuals who needed clear guidance, honest representation, and someone willing to stand up for them. He understands how complex systems can feel intimidating and unfair, particularly for working families, seniors, and those without access to influence or power.
Kevin believes the law should be applied equally and transparently—without favoritism or political pressure. Those same values guide his approach to leadership: listen carefully, act responsibly, and always put people first.
Rooted in Central West Virginia
Kevin understands Central West Virginia because he lives its reality. Braxton and Gilmer Counties are home to hard-working families, small businesses, and tight-knit communities that deserve respect and representation.
Like many residents, Kevin has seen the effects of:
Limited economic opportunities
Strained infrastructure
Challenges accessing healthcare
Decisions made without local input
Rather than accept the status quo, Kevin believes leadership should rise to meet these challenges with practical solutions and genuine engagement.
