Republican congressional candidate Rick Snuffer, a member of the West Virginia House of Delegates from Raleigh County, is getting set to speak on Monday at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida. Snuffer says convention organizers want him to address President Obama's 'war on coal." Snuffer plans to talk about how it's affected the people in West Virginia and our neighboring states, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Snuffer, who faces incumbent Congressman Nick Rahall in the November election, believes the energy issue, especially in coal producing states, will play a role in the presidential election. Monday will be the first night of the convention. Snuffer says being asked to speak makes him feel good about how those in the national Republican Party are viewing his race against Rahall.
