CHARLESTON - Rep. Alex Mooney survived one of the toughest races of his political career Tuesday, appearing to beat back Rep. David McKinley in the new 2nd Congressional District Republican primary.
Mooney, now in his fourth term in the U.S. House of Representatives, beat McKinley, a six-term Congressman, 54.5% to 35.7% according to unofficial results transmitted by county clerks to the West Virginia Secretary of State's Office Tuesday night. Not all precincts had reported in by press time.
