FAIRMONT —
Mac Warner’s name will be on the ballot again next week, but this time he is running in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate.
“The last thing we need to do is send another senator to (U.S. Senate Majority) Leader Harry Reid’s, D-Nev., side of the aisle,” Warner said. “They have shown us what they will do — keep spending our tax dollars, pass health care and try to jam cap and trade down our throats. West Virginia needs a senator to stand up for West Virginia values and I am the guy to do it.”
A few months ago, Warner was a contender in a crowded field aiming to be the Republican standard bearer in the primary for the 1st Congressional District.
“Forged by the House race, I am now very comfortable with the issues and I have hit the ground running,” he said.
