Before Bobby McCool For State Representative 97th District was a state representative, he was a Marine, a coal miner, a welder and an educator. McCool spent much of his career teaching and working in technical and higher education, eventually serving in administration before retiring and entering public office. His campaign says that background still shapes the way he approaches the job: conservative Christian values, individual liberty, support for law enforcement and a belief that public office should be about serving the people who sent you there. McCool has described himself simply: “I’m proud to be a servant. That’s what I am and who I am.” SPONSORED: PAID FOR BY BOBBY McCOOL #AppalachiaInsider #BobbyMcCool #HouseDistrict97 #EasternKentucky #KentuckyPolitics #Sponsored
