Last month, a landslide on W.Va. 2 in Brooke County impacted traffic for most of the day.

And more recently a viewer shared concerns about a large rock on the hillside above the roadway.

NEWS9 spoke with two people who are after your vote to find out if and how they'll take action.

Randy Swartzmiller is the Democratic nominee for West Virginia senator in District 1. The Chester native served in the West Virginia House of Delegates for 16 years.

He said he's ready to take up the fight for our roads if voters send him back to Charleston.

“We can say, ‘Hey, Route 2 is a main artery up here. People have to drive to survive and they have to be able to do it in a safe manner,’” Swartzmiller said. “So, we need to try to pull some of those dollars from that up here just from that to cut back those trouble areas.

“I think it has to be a united effort. It has to be the political leaders and people in the Northern Panhandle uniting and have myself in place to be leading the charge and also having the backing of all the people up here because, I believe, if everybody pulls together, we can get things done.”

Laura Wakim Chapman is the Republican nominee for West Virginia senator in District 1.

The Wheeling native has a background in constitutional law. She said she's the one to lead the charge for better roads.

“I think this is a 100 solvable issue,” she said. “It all is about priority and funding and that is my priority to get the funding up here. And, yes, it needs fixed and it needs fixed today.”

“I think we just need a strong voice in Charleston. “We've been neglected for decades and it's time to fix the roads that have been repaired by band-aid instead of a full overhaul and we need to do that by being persistent and bringing the money up here.”
