Biography
McKinney is a nuclear services manager for Continental Field Systems in Savannah, Georgia. He was voted “most likely to become anuclear scientist” when he was at Effingham County High School in Georgia, according to an article in the Effingham Herald[1].
When asked about his educational and work experience referring to him being a Tool and Die maker and a mechanical engineer Ray McKinney had this to say about his choice of career:
I think I prefer the term "machinist" above all but my wife thinks I put myself down by saying that. It is the proudest part of my skill set though. Her point is that people respect higher education and by telling people that I am a machinist that they have a lower opinion of who I am. Actually, I am quite proud of it.
Texas Straw Poll
McKinney, in a surprise performance, bested Sen. John McCain, Sen. Sam Brownback, and Rep. Tom Tancredo in the Texas Straw Poll held Sept. 1, 2007, in Fort Worth, Texas. McKinney carried 28 delegate votes[2].
Along with his mother, he gave complimentary blood pressure checks at a booth at the Forth Worth Convention Center during the straw poll, and addressed the delegates during the main session prior to voting along with candidates Rep. Duncan Hunter of California, Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, Alabama psychiatrist Hugh Cort and Illinois lawyer John Cox [3].
