| Description | Gerald E. Connolly, chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, said he will announce today that he has formed an exploratory committee to consider a run for the U.S. House in Northern Virginia's 11th Congressional District.
Connolly, 57, a proven fundraiser who overwhelmingly won a second four-year term as chairman in November, has been the subject of speculation about whether he would seek the Democratic nomination for the seat.
He said his record in Fairfax on issues including environmental conservation, the preservation of affordable housing and gang prevention demonstrates his ability to get things done. He said he would lend the campaign a proven ability to win and provide Congress with experience in foreign policy. He spent 10 years on the senior staff of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee before being elected to the county board. |
