Brigadier General (Ret.) Chris Walker wasn't born into money or a political dynasty. His life is a story of hard work and choosing what's right: his career, his conservatism, and his choice to be a West Virginian.
Chris Walker grew up middle class, his dad an electronics technician and his mom a nurse. They were first generation Americans who became citizens the proper way. Those values led him to the United States Air Force Academy, forty years in uniform and thousands of hours flying across the world. He saw combat and deployed to nearly every continent on the planet, from Khobar Towers to Mogadishu to Baghdad. Then, he led West Virginia's sons and daughters as a commander of our Air National Guard.
Chris grew up in a big city and spent years stationed in the DC Swamp. He put down roots in West Virginia because of its real people, real American values, and common sense. Chris knows that no one is entitled to a seat in Congress. It doesn't belong to one person or family. It belongs to the people of West Virginia.
