My Take
Richard Ojeda fascinates me as a study in reinvention. A Bronze Star recipient and retired Army major, he traded the battlefield for the West Virginia Senate and even a short-lived presidential bid in 2020. What strikes me is the raw fury he channels, a voice from Logan, West Virginia, that refuses polish. His campaign was brief, but I value the willingness to step into the arena and shout. Career soldiers turned populist politicians are rare, and Ojeda embodies that hard-edged authenticity. Win or lose, he reminds me that conviction can matter more than electoral arithmetic.
