Patrick Muldoon, the Giles County Republican challenging U.S. Rep. Rick Boucher, D-Abingdon, for the 9th District seat in Congress, will paddle a canoe this weekend in a New River twist on the good old tradition of whirlwind campaign stops.

At each stop, Muldoon will make brief comments promoting his plan for economic development in the area.
