Robert F. "Bob" McDonnell (born June 15, 1954) is a former Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army and a former U.S. prosecutor. He is currently the Republican nominee for Governor of Virginia in the 2009 election. Previously he served as state Attorney General from 2006-2009, before resigning to focus full time on his gubernatorial campaign. McDonnell's Democrat opponent is state Senator Creigh Deeds, whom he defeated in 2005 for attorney general.
As Attorney General McDonnell saw 83 of his 94 legislative proposals become law, including passing "Jessica’s Law" which established a 25-year mandatory minimum sentence for certain sexual predators who commit violent crimes against children.
