Welcome!

Welcome to our official campaign site. Read the latest news, sign up for our newsletter, donate or volunteer with the 2012 McKinley for Congress campaign. You can make the difference!

In 2010, I was elected to my first term to the U.S. House of Representatives. With the support of thousands of volunteers and donors, we were able to overcome the negative attacks of the Washington establishment. My family and I are deeply grateful for the trust and faith of the voters.

It is a humbling experience to serve our country and help carry out our campaign mission of protecting and creating jobs, reducing wasteful spending and standing up for West Virginia.

Recently I was selected by the House leadership for a position on the coveted Energy and Commerce Committee, and we’re already hitting the ground running. I have introduced my first piece of legislation – stopping the EPA from revoking existing coal mine permits – and it has attracted bipartisan support.

I look forward to continue serving you in Congress, but I will need your help.

As you are probably aware, West Virginia’s 1st Congressional District was one of the most closely-watched and costly congressional races in the nation. In a district with an 18-point Democratic registration edge, we could very well face a re-election battle just as difficult.

Your generosity of time, financial support and/or grassroots organization will be critical to my re-election. I hope I can count on your early support for the 2012 campaign, and together we can continue fighting for West Virginia families.

Sincerely,

McKinleySig_282_1

David B. McKinley, P.E.
Member of Congress

"We owe it to the veterans who have sacrificed so much to lend them a hand when they return home," McKinley said. "It pains me when I hear of our brave men and women struggling to make ends meet when they return from the battlefield."

"Having worked in the construction industry for 45 years, I understand what it takes to reinvigorate our construction and manufacturing industries to help make our homes and businesses more efficient," McKinley said.

The bill would provide homeowners with incentives to update their home with energy efficient updates. Up to $8,000 in rebates will be available for those who can install and show energy savings.

“Upwards of 50 pages are required at times, merely to apply for the benefits,” said McKinley, who’s heard about the issue from constituents. “That’s just wrong, both for our miners and for the taxpayers who foot the cost for such applications.”
