"Is there something I can contribute? How can I take a business perspective to Congress?" During his presentation at the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting and Business Summit Aug. 29, those are the questions Rep. David McKinley, R-W.Va., said he asked himself before re-entering the world of politics after being away for 16 years.
"I looked at the situation that was happening across the country after being out for 16 years and thought maybe it's time (to) quit worrying about ourselves and look at our country and our nation at what's happening," he said. McKinley found his platform through being a member of the Energy and Commerce Committee.
For his presentation, McKinley touched on several upcoming topics that will be discussed in Washington, including the climate, the budget, health care and immigration.
"I concur that there is climate change," McKinley said. "What I don't concur is that it's man-made and caused by us burning coal and natural gas in our automobiles. Is that contributing to it? Of course it is, but I believe that there are a lot of natural, cyclical things occurring from an engineering perspective that cause the climate change to occur across this country. It's not all driven by fossil fuels."
