Meet the Candidates:
Patrick Murray (VA-8)
Patrick Murray is a retired U.S. Army Colonel with 24-years of active service. Patrick spent over a decade in numerous postings abroad, including tours in Iraq, Kosovo, Bosnia, Serbia and Russia.

He does not take our freedoms for granted and knows first-hand that “freedom isn’t free.”
He was raised in Oklahoma by a single mother who taught him the importance of hard work, honesty and self reliance. He went to work at the age of 14 to help her pay the bills at home...

After the age of eight he was raised with his two brothers, one older and one younger, by his single mom, Bonnie Gilyeat...
If he wins the GOP primary on August 3, Gilyeat will face the retiring incumbent Democrat's wife, Stephene Moore in the fall.
