UPDATE: Tito Munoz has not decided on whether he will run for a spot on the Prince William Board of County Supervisors. An article in Tuesday’s News & Messenger stated that Munoz would be running for chairman as a Republican.
The man known as “Tito the Builder” during the 2008 John McCain presidential election campaign will be doing some campaigning of his own this summer.
According to Virginia Public Access Project, Tito Munoz will be running for the Republican nomination against incumbent Corey A. Stewart and Robert Weir this fall. A first-timer in politics involved with the fiscally conservative grassroots Tea Party movement, Munoz was highlighted by the McCain-Sarah Palin camp during their election bid.
The owner of Deborn construction, Munoz immigrated to the United States from Colombia is the late 1970s, moved to Dale City in 1996 and was naturalized in 2008. The 50-year-old holds two associate degrees, one in civil engineering and one in construction management, from Northern Virginia Community College.
According to a News & Messenger article last month, Munoz is against illegal immigration, supports the Economic Development and Job Creation Commission co-chaired by Virginia Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling and senior economic advisor Bob Sledd, and opposes any kind of “welfare state.”
Stewart told the News & Messenger he plans to announce his re-election bid later this month. Weir, a current Haymarket town councilman, is running for the first time.
