It’s (almost) official: Tito “The Builder” Muñoz will square off against former Republican Party of Virginia Chairman Jeff Frederick in the Republican primary in the 36^th Virgina Senate District.

Muñoz said he wants to focus on the depleted Route 1 corridor and education, and that he would officially file his paperwork in a couple days. Muñoz, who rose to fame during the 2008 presidential campaign stumping with Sarah Palin, owns a construction company in Woodbridge and has also made a name for himself recently on conservative talk radio.
