After serving 12 years as a Maryland State Senator and a failed run for office in New Hampshire, freshman Congressman Alex Mooney is already leaving the state for Iowa to campaign for Texas Senator Ted Cruz. This comes shortly after Mooney was announced as the chair of Senator Cruz’s campaign in West Virginia.
“Instead of focusing on the people of West Virginia, Congressman Mooney is spending his first term as a political operative for Senator Ted Cruz – the architect of Washington dysfunction and government shutdowns,” said DCCC spokesman Jermaine House. “When will Congressman Mooney stop running away from West Virginia and start doing the job voters elected him to do?”
