Who is Vern McKinley Virgina District 10 Republican?

Vern McKinley is known as the "first Ron Paul Republican".  But he's also known for his policy work through Cato Institute.  Work that has found it's way to Mises.org, and Ron Paul's written testimony.

Here are some samples,

Of course, sunsetting won't always kill the laws or agencies it's aimed at. Even with widespread criticism from congressmen and the General Accounting Office, as Vern McKinley detailed in the pages of Regulation, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission managed to continually survive four-year sunsetting deadlines (with staffing falling right before deadlines, to show the CFTC's lean-meanness, and rising immediately thereafter).

WRITTEN TESTIMONY OF RON PAUL ON H.R. 1121
THE FINANCIAL FREEDOM ACT OF 1997
BEFORE THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11, 1998

"The [Community Reinvestment Act] utilizes fairly vague terms such as ‘convenience and needs’ and ‘meet the credit needs of the local community,’ and then explicitly delegates to the individual agencies the power to define these terms, while using the threat of denying applications to assure compliance with the agency-created definition," according to Vern McKinley, who worked at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board and the Resolution Trust Corporation, in Regulation magazine (1994 Number 4). He states clearly, "The CRA should be repealed. Altering the underlying regulation merely leaves the way open for future administrations to utilize the statute as a government credit allocation scheme."
