To Our Community,

Recently, there have been rumors and misinformation circulating about business at the VDIC. I want to address this directly and transparently.

I have proudly served our country in two wars and have experience leading both on the battlefield and in the business and nonprofit sectors. My commitment to veterans and to this community is not in question โ€” and I stand firmly on my record, integrity, and service.

It is disappointing to see false narratives being created instead of honest dialogue and accountability. Those who claim to support veterans should be committed to truth, accuracy, and responsible communication.

If anyone has questions or would like clarity, I welcome real conversation โ€” rooted in facts, not rumors.

You can reach me directly at:

Thank you to everyone who continues to support our veterans and stand for truth and integrity. I will continue until you guys want to be honest. I have time thanks...... State Representative Maurice West

Respectfully,
Sean West, LSW
