“We thank Rep. Mooney for consistently voting to defend and advance faith, family and freedom. As a 'True Blue Member' he voted 100 percent on FRC Action’s Scorecard including votes to repeal and replace Obamacare, deliver long-needed tax cuts that are already providing much needed relief to working families, stand for religious liberty, overturn President Obama’s transgender military policy, end the forced partnership between taxpayers and Planned Parenthood, and protect pain capable babies.
“Rep. Mooney deserves praise for his unwavering commitment to stand for life, family, marriage, and religious liberty. West Virginians should be encouraged to know that they have a Member of Congress such as Rep. Mooney who has come alongside other members and our president to begin the work of rebuilding our nation, and protecting the very values that made America great,” concluded Perkins.
Rep. Alex Mooney added:
“I am honored to receive Family Research Council’s ‘True Blue‘ award for my work in Congress to defend faith, family and freedom. I will never relent in my defense of traditional West Virginia conservative values and will continue to defend life, protect traditional marriage and embrace religious freedom. We have a sacred obligation to pass on to our children and grandchildren a country that has the same love for liberty and religious freedom as the one we inherited.”
