McKinley Makes Congress Bid Official
http://www.news-register.net/page/content.detail/id/533287.html. January 17, 2010
In an article announcing his candidacy for the House of Representatives David McKinley linked his state’s need for jobs with legislation coming form Washington. In West Virginia’s 1st District McKinley argued that protecting jobs means protecting the coal industry. "We have to stand up and fight back in this war on coal being waged by Congress and the EPA," he added. "Cap and trade will kill our coal industry and destroy our economy. We must stop it, period."

An article posted on huntingtonnews.net cited McKinley as a “a supporter of both new industries as well as the state's core traditional industries like coal.” McKinley has been a long time supporter of the coal industry and has vowed that, if elected, he would combat Washington’s “war on coal.” According to the article, McKinley characterizes Obama’s legislative efforts to reduce the American coal industry as “excesses of… environmental policies.”

McKinley has pointed out one of his main reasons for entering the race for the House seat in West Virginia’s 1st District to be the need to protect the coal industry. "We need a representative in Congress that will vote against legislation that hurts our local industries and increases taxes on everyone," said McKinley in a statement announcing his candidacy. "Coal is the backbone of our state's economy and the attacks on coal from Washington, D.C., must be stopped."

http://www.mckinley2010.com/index.php/newsreleases/91-wv4lifepacendorsement.
An article posted on McKinley’s campaign website declares that McKinley’s candidacy has been endorsed by West Virginians for Life, a pro-life organization drawn to the Republican candidate’s solid pro-life voting record while serving in the West Virginia House of Delegates. McKinley expressed gratitude for their support, saying: "defending the unborn isn’t just a choice, it is a responsibility. I consistently supported pro-life measures when I was in the House of Delegates and I will continue to do so in Congress. We must do everything in our power to stop the senseless killing of the unborn."
