West Virginia Republican Party Mourns the Passing of Former Congressman David McKinley
The West Virginia Republican Party mourns the passing of David B. McKinley – a devoted public servant, accomplished engineer, and proud West Virginian.
A seventh-generation West Virginian, McKinley served in the United States House of Representatives for West Virginia’s 1st Congressional District from 2011 to 2023. He was the founder of McKinley and Associates, a member of the West Virginia House of Delegates, and served as Chairman of the West Virginia Republican Party. Known for his practical, results-driven approach, he was a strong advocate for West Virginia workers.
“We are deeply saddened by the loss of Congressman McKinley,” said West Virginia Republican Party Chairman Josh Holstein. “Congressman McKinley dedicated his life to serving West Virginia. He was a friend and mentor to many of the officials serving our state today and his legacy of leadership and commitment to our people will not be forgotten.”
The West Virginia Republican Party extends its deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all who knew and loved him.
