Loudoun Easterner: 10th District, Meet The Candidates

Filed Under 2008 Election, Media, News Items, big government 

The Loudoun Easterner published an article outlining the positions of the candidates competing in Virginia’s 10th congressional district race. The primary is next Tuesday, June 10th. The Vern McKinley section certainly makes a strong case for his truly limited government candidacy.

During the 1980’s and ‘90’s McKinley worked for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, the Resolution Trust Corporation and the Treasury Department’s Office of Thrift Supervision, and attended the law school at George Washington University. He also conducted policy analysis for the CATO Institute and the American Enterprise Institute. During the past eight years, he has worked as a legal and policy advisor on financial and fiscal matters to governmental entities in the United States and several foreign countries including China, Nigeria, the Philippines, Indonesia, Afghanistan, Kenya, Libya, Serbia, Kosovo and Tajikistan according to his campaign press secretary Michael Parrish.

His main issue thus far in his campaign has involved government spending and “earmarks,” a practice he would like to see “vanish.” He seeks to reduce government spending “dramatically.”
McKinley reportedly is “angry” with Wolf and other Republicans whom he views as having “stayed away from Republican principles of small government.” In addition he is a defender of Second Amendment rights to bear arms and has earned a 100 percent rating from the Virginia Gun Owners Coalition.

DON’T FORGET TO VOTE VERN ON JUNE 10th (Next Tuesday).
