Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : Those two votes and Trump's endorsement are about all that separate Mooney and McKinley, who both share the same legislative priorities -- securing the border, defending the Second Amendment, rebuilding the economy, advocating for the state's coal industry, abolishing abortion, supporting law enforcement and veterans, and battling opioid addiction.
51% : Despite being called a "RINO" by the former president, McKinley burnished his MAGA credentials in a May 5 Facebook statement, noting, "I stood with President Trump 92 per cent of the time -- more than Alex Mooney -- to build the border wall and defend his 'America First Agenda.'"McKinley, 75, a former state Republican Party Committee chair who unsuccessfully ran for governor in 1996, has served in Congress since 2010, winning a seat occupied by Democrats since 1968.
29% : His campaign has called McKinley ad claiming he is under "federal investigation," purposely deceiving since it is a congressional probe not being conducted by any law enforcement agency.
