Mike O’Brien and his wife, Courtney, saw Harrisburg as a great spot to land their early retirements from the U.S. Marine Corps, for both personal and political reasons. It puts the couple close to family, in an affordable area with good schools. And it gives Mike O’Brien a chance to run against U.S. Rep. Scott Perry, a York County Republican.

O’Brien brings a Top Gun resume that he plans to deploy against Perry’s record as a retired brigadier general in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard. A Marine aviator and squadron leader who retired last week as a lieutenant colonel, O’Brien became a Democratic candidate for the U.S. House’s 10th District seat Wednesday and will face at least two opponents in the Democratic primary in May.

Born in Philadelphia and raised in Elkins Park, O’Brien spent 20 years as an aviator and instructor after graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

O’Brien’s wife is also an aviator, U.S Naval academy graduate, and lieutenant colonel. They were the first husband-and-wife team to take command of flight squadrons on the same day in San Diego last year — with him in change of a fighter attack squadron and her running an aerial refueler transport squadron. Courtney O’Brien, the Naval Academy’s highest all-time basketball team scorer, expects to retire next year, he said. She remains on active duty in San Diego with their 9-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son.
