When Mooney first ran for Congress, I was not terribly impressed, but it wasn't my district. We've since been redistricted, and Mooney defeated the incumbent (McKinley) in the Republican primary. Therefore, Mooney is now my congressman. He's somewhat a carpetbagger, not a lifelong West Virginian like Manchin, which you can bet the Democrats will exploit. I think he's probably more moderate than I'd like, too.
