Mooney's worthless. Dude never shows his face around the district. Did meet his mother a few years back when he sent her to a fundraiser in his place (she's a wonderfully nice woman), but he's been MIA from day one. Can't think of a single event in the EP that he's attended in person. I suspected he was trouble when some friends in Maryland talked about him before he first ran, but never thought he'd be as feckless as they come. Hell, next week I'll be going into DC for the yearly "Fly-in" with the CAWV, where we meet with our Congressman and Senators, and once again he's the lone no show. Word is the investigation into him could be serious trouble for him. Falsifying records, witness tampering, etc.
Only met McKinley a few times at association functions, and have worked with his company a few times on building projects, but I can't say I have dealt with him any directly. I do know though that a vast number in our association preferred him over Mooney.
Losing that seat really stings, and knowing we're stuck with under-representation for the another 2 years is frustrating as hell.
