Finally a Real Choice
Chris Wakim will offer a real challenge to Congressman Alan Mollohan’s bid for reelection this year. The national party certainly believes in their ability to take that seat away from the dems. Delegate Wakim’s record of achievement is very admirable. Here is a brief bio:
Elected to the West Virginia House of Delegates on his first run in 2002, Chris is a Gulf War veteran. Upon graduation from Linsly Military Institute in Wheeling in 1976, he was appointed to the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY, and earned a commission in the United States Army Infantry in 1980. To further his education, Chris earned a Master’s Degree in Government from Harvard University in 1991, graduating in the top 15% of his class.
Delegate Wakim has extensive business experience. He currently owns several real estate and commercial properties in the Northern Panhandle and assists his wife, Jeannette, with the management of her retail and service corporations in Wheeling, WV.
He is a former investment banker in Chicago, and managed a national portfolio valued at $180 million. He also negotiated Initial Public Offerings (IPO’s) and capitalizations for corporations valued at $80 million. In addition, Chris lobbied extensively for a Fortune 300 company throughout New England and the Midwest, specializing in state taxation issues.
A disabled Veteran honorably discharged for injuries sustained in the line of duty, Chris held various command and staff positions throughout the United States and Europe, culminating in a command of a mechanized infantry company in the Fourth Infantry Division.
In the West Virginia State Legislature, Chris serves on the Finance Committee, Health and Human Resources Committee, and Veterans and Homeland Security Committees.
His opponent Alan Mollohan will begin to surface once again as he always does during an election year. This is the best opportunity we have had to defeat the guy who never shows up except for the scarce election year stunt to make voters think he is actually doing something. Time to step aside Alan. A new generation of West Virginian’s is taking control of our future.
