Mooney, R-W.Va., was joined for a rally Friday evening for his 2024 U.S. Senate Republican primary campaign at VFW Post 9738 in Huntington with U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.
“Some people say to me, ‘Why are you running? What’s your main issue?’ There’s a theme by it. The main issue is really freedom,” Mooney said to a packed room. “There’s one political party that believes government should control you, make your decisions for you, run your life. There’s another political party — Republicans — who believe you should be free men and women to make your own choices. That’s the theme.”
Paul, an eye surgeon with two six-year terms under his belt in the U.S. Senate, endorsed Mooney’s U.S. Senate campaign in March. Paul is the son of former Republican Texas U.S. Rep. Ron Paul.
Paul is one of three U.S. senators to endorse Mooney in the U.S. Senate race to see which Republican can run in the 2024 general election for the seat held by U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va. Mooney has received the endorsements of Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Mike Lee, R-Utah.
