Capito Statement on Passing of Former Congressman David McKinley
CHARLESTON, W.Va. – U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) released the below statement on the passing of former Congressman David McKinley (R-W.Va.):
“David McKinley was a fighter. Not only did David fight for his principles and the causes he believed in, but he also fought hardest for his cherished West Virginia. As a proud eighth generation West Virginian, he espoused the values that are so embedded in our state. His dedication and commitment to our coal miners was second to none, and as the only licensed engineer in Congress during his time in the House of Representatives, he brought thorough analysis to the legislative process. He was also a dedicated WVU football fan—never missing a chance to cheer them on. My heart goes out to his devoted wife Mary and his family in sympathy for their loss and in gratitude for his decades of public service and friendship,” Senator Capito said.
