Club for Growth rakes in millions for Mooney while slamming 'big government RINO' Jim Justice
Julia Johnson
The conservative Club for Growth announced on Wednesday that its associated super PAC, partnered with Protect Freedom PAC, which is affiliated with Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), raised $13.55 million for Rep. Alex Mooney (R-WV) in his bid to replace Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV).
The club had originally pledged to spend at least $10 million to support the representative.
“The more West Virginia voters learn about Jim Justice, Mitch McConnell’s chosen candidate, the clearer it becomes that he is a big government RINO,” Club for Growth Action President David McIntosh said. “Alex Mooney has a strong track record of pushing back on Joe Biden’s radical policy agenda in Washington and is the only candidate in the race that is serious about promoting fiscal responsibility.”
Mooney isn't the only Republican challenger looking to unseat Manchin. Justice, the West Virginia governor, announced his candidacy in April after being courted by McConnell.
