On February 8th, 2024, I had the privilege of attending the Healthcare Providers Legislative Reception, a pivotal event demonstrating our commitment to healthcare in West Virginia. This gathering, convened by esteemed organizations such as the WV Hospital Association, the WV Behavioral Healthcare Providers Association, The Health Care Association, and the WV State Medical Association, facilitated meaningful dialogue between healthcare professionals and elected officials.

As a nurse dedicated to serving our communities within a hospital environment, I am acutely aware of the significant contributions made by hospitals and healthcare providers across our state. From nursing homes to behavioral health facilities, from physicians to hospital staff, these entities collectively employ hundreds of thousands of individuals, enriching the fabric of West Virginia.

Participating in this event was both enlightening and humbling. It reinforced my appreciation for the tireless efforts of those in the healthcare sector and highlighted the critical importance of legislative support in advancing our healthcare initiatives.

Looking ahead, I am hopeful for the opportunity to attend future Healthcare Providers Legislative Receptions as a duly elected House member representing the 20th district. With your unwavering support, I am confident that together, we can advocate for policies that prioritize the well-being of our communities and ensure equitable access to quality healthcare for all West Virginians.

Today, accompanied by the boys and Mark, we went to the Capitol to officially file my candidacy for the House of Delegates in the 20th district. It was a truly special experience – meeting current Delegates, standing behind the podium for a photo, and engaging with House leadership.

The conversations centered around the issues facing House members and the state of West Virginia. My key takeaway is a commitment to serve with dignity and honor, voting according to my conscience and the will of my constituents. I left with a strong sense that, together, we can make a meaningful difference in Putnam County and the entire state.

A piece of advice from a current Delegate and state-wide candidate resonated with me: “Let people know who you are and why you’re running in 25 words or less.” So, here it is: Hello, I’m Sarah Drennan, running for House of Delegates 20th District. I aim to shape a West Virginia where our children choose to build their families!

I would appreciate your help and support!

I’m absolutely thrilled to share that I’ve just received my first endorsement from the WV Deputy Sheriff’s Association!

I am beyond honored and grateful for the Association’s belief in my candidacy. From the very beginning, I instilled in my two boys the importance of expressing gratitude to our officers and military for their dedicated service.

It’s not just a commitment for me, but a family tradition. My brother-in-law, a veteran deputy and Captain with the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Department, exemplifies the values of service and protection that I hold dear.

I’m deeply moved by the support and confidence shown by the WV Deputy Sheriff’s Association. Let’s continue working together to bring positive change to our community!
