U.S. Rep. Alex Mooney Announces Bid for West Virginia U.S. Senate Seat
U.S. Rep. Alex Mooney, a five-term congressman from West Virginia, has announced his bid to become the state’s next U.S. Senator. Mooney is among the major candidates vying to replace current U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, who announced last year that he would not seek re-election.
In an interview with WSAZ NewsChannel 3, Mooney emphasized his commitment to fighting for individual freedoms, low taxes, cutting regulations, and reducing government spending. He also highlighted the importance of appointing conservative judges and supporting West Virginia’s natural resources and industries, such as coal, oil, and gas.
Mooney positioned himself as the conservative choice in the race, contrasting himself with his opponent, West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice. He emphasized endorsements from prominent conservative senators like Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Mike Lee, and criticized the establishment for backing his opponent.
As the campaign for the Republican nomination heats up, Mooney’s platform of conservative values and support for West Virginia’s economy will be closely watched. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
