To the neighbors and citizens of Tyler County, l would like to thank you in advance and introduce myself; I am David “P.J.” Wells and it is my honor to be running for County Commissioner of Tyler County, WV.  I would like to take a moment to first and foremost thank God, my family, my country, and my friends and neighbors of Tyler County.

The duties of County Commissioner are broad some of these duties include general welfare of local county government, communicating county needs to members of the WV Legislature and administrative agencies,  also to the Federal government when needed.  When elected I will act as a communicator for Tyler County which I will represent.  I will promote county programs and act as a liaison to organize a plan of action, ideas and solutions for the people through the county officials.

I have lived in Tyler County most of my life. I am a graduate of Sistersville High School; I attended Potomac State College focusing on Agricultural Technologies.  I worked at The Ohio State University Farm Science Review.  My family owns and operates a small farm in this community which we work every day. I support hunting and fishing. I own residential farm property. My roots are strong in Tyler County, WV.

My business P.J. Wells Trucking has operated and thrived in Tyler County. I am currently employed as a bus operator for Tyler County Schools. My family lives here and my son will graduate from Tyler Consolidated High School.  My family is active in the FFA and 4H programs. Giving back to the community is extremely rewarding and I am a member of Sistersville Volunteer Fire Department Station 30. I support the Police and EMS. I am a lay minister and a Decon at the First Baptist Church of Sistersville. Previous I served eight years on the Tyler County Board of Education as President and Vice President.

When elected one of the first things I will strive to do will be to unite all Tyler County communities by directing community based programs and funding. With your help and communication we will be able to develop programs that will benefit all Tyler County citizens. I know the list could be long, but I am up for the challenge.  I look forward to working with you to accomplish well organized goals.
