Previously, he was the Democratic nominee for Attorney General of Virginia in 2005 and Governor of Virginia in 2009. He was defeated in both of those races by Bob McDonnell. Deeds lost by just 323 votes in 2005, but was defeated by a wide margin of almost 18 percentage points in 2009. He was a member of the Virginia House of Delegates from 1992 to 2001.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Virginia State Board of Elections )〕 On November 19, 2013, Deeds was critically wounded during an incident at his home in Millboro, in Bath County, Virginia, where he was stabbed multiple times by his son Austin "Gus" Deeds. Gus was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in the home.〔〔〔 Senator Deeds recovered and was discharged three days later. ==Personal life== Deeds was born on January 4, 1958, in Richmond, Virginia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Historical Bio for R. Creigh Deeds )〕 The name "Creigh" is a family surname, originating from Confederate war hero, David Creigh, a distant relative. His family moved early in his life to Bath County. After graduating from high school, Deeds enrolled in Concord College. He then entered the Wake Forest University School of Law, from which he received his Juris Doctor in 1984. A ''Washington Post'' article published April 12, 2010, revealed that Deeds and his wife Pam had divorced as of February 4, (as the ''Washington Post'' described) "a casualty of a nearly 20-year pursuit of a lifelong ambition that kept him away from home". Deeds married Siobhan Gilbride Lomax of Lexington, Virginia, in June 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Senator R.
