Economy

As a small government, free-market focused owner of a small business, Congressman McKinley strongly supports lower taxes, fewer frivolous lawsuits, and fewer burdensome regulations.

Energy and Environment

Coal and other energy sources provide tens of thousands of West Virginia jobs; these industries are the lifeblood of our state and Rep. McKinley is committed to protecting them from job-killing regulations.

Health Care

Congressman McKinley believes that we must lower health care costs, increase access to high-quality care, and put patients in charge of their health care dollars and decisions. President Obama’s new health care law does not achieve this and should be repealed.

Jobs

Second Amendment

Congressman McKinley has co-sponsored legislation to protect the rights, privileges and immunities guaranteed to a citizen of the United States.

Senior Citizens

Our nation's growing debt continues to be one of the most serious problems facing the country. Congressman McKinley believes that we need to cut spending, balance our budget and reduce our debt, while protecting the benefits that our seniors have worked their entire lives to earn.

Tax Reform

Tax increases are not the answer to the federal government’s spending problem. America's corporate tax rate is now the highest in the world, reducing our competitiveness in the global economy.

Veterans

Congressman McKinley is committed to making sure that we care for the men and women who have defended our freedom.
