Frederick and Munoz held a publicly-attended debate in July at DAKS Grill in Woodbridge, and the faced off again Friday on Newschannel 8 where the two sparred over bringing business to the district and each other’s personal political experience.
While Frederick last week received several endorsements, Munoz too has supporters in the Potomac Communities.
“Tito Munoz will bring a fresh, business-minded approach to the State Senate. Tito’s personal story of success as an immigrant who came to realize the American dream is truly inspiring. Having built a successful company from the ground up, Tito knows what it takes to create an environment where businesses can grow and thrive,” said Prince William Occoquan Supervisor Michael May.
Munoz owns a construction company in Prince William County, and is now a U.S. citizen after immigrating here from Columbia in the in 1970s. Frederick, born in Fairfax, represented Dumfries in the Virginia House of Delegates and went onto become the Chairman of Virginia’s Republican Party only to be ousted from the position by Republicans in 2009.
The 36th District spans Virginia’s Potomac Communities from Mount Vernon to Stafford County.
The winner of Tuesday’s primary will face Democratic incumbent Toddy Puller during the general election Nov. 8.
Also a hotly contested Primary in the Potomac Communities on Tuesday will be that of Stafford Assistant Commonwealth Eric Olsen and Defense Trial lawyer Jason Pelt.
