In 2005 Deeds ran for attorney generation as the Democratic candidate against Republican Bob McDonnell in a contest that ended in a recount. McDonnell won with just over 300 votes.
Four years later Deeds again ran against McDonnell for governor. McDonnell won in a landslide and swept the top three.
Prayers go to Senator Deeds and his family at this tragic time.
3:30 p.m. Richmond Times-Dispatch has an updated article about the tragedy.
