Healthcare is another central issue for Elliott. He supports expanding access to affordable healthcare and tackling the opioid crisis, which has devastated many West Virginia communities. By prioritizing mental health services, addiction treatment, and preventive care, Elliott aims to build a healthier and more resilient state.
