Patrick Muldoon, a Northern Virginia patent attorney who grew up in Giles County, already has lost two races for Congress and one for commonwealth’s attorney.

Perhaps that’s why his announcement that he will challenge incumbent Bill Bolling for the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor hardly brimmed with confidence.

“I understand the rough and tumble of politics,” he said in a press release. “I know a convention challenge is a bit like stirring up a bee’s nest. But we simply cannot continue the path we’re on.”

Muldoon, 43, lost to U.S. Rep. Rick Boucher, D-Abingdon, in 1996 and lost a bid for a rematch two years later when he failed to get the Republican nomination. He lost a bid for

Giles County commonwealth’s attorney in 1999.

“Republicans face a choice between business as usual and being consigned to minority status for the foreseeable future or returning to our core principles and fighting for the honest, open, limited government our fellow citizens expect,” Muldoon said in the release.
