Coal Miner Who Challenged Hillary Clinton Launches West Va. Senate Bid

EXCERPT:

COPLEY: "Honestly, I just feel like I’m someone that the people in our state can relate to. I’m going to be facing probably quite a lot of Republican challengers in the primary along with, if I’m able to come out of the primary on top, then will be facing Senator Manchin. I just wonder how many of those people have had to sit in an unemployment line versus the amount of people in our state that have, or how many people have wondered how they’re going to provide for their children the way that we had to? Honestly, I just feel like when you’ve walked a mile in someone else’s shoes, you tend to fight for those people harder than possibly someone who hasn’t."
