Coal is the life blood of Southwest Virginia's economy, especially in the 38th District. Many of the region's industries and jobs rely on its extraction. Ben Chafin is the only candidate for Senate with a proven record on coal. Ben sponsored successful legislation (House Bill 1261) to fight against Obama EPA's effort to kill the industry through over-regulation. Ben will continue to work in Richmond to protect coal and grow other Southwest industries like natural gas.
