Oakton businessman Keith Fimian is reportedly mulling another run for Congress in Virginia’s 11th Congressional district, which could pit him against incumbent Rep. Gerry Connolly for the third straight election.
Fimian told Roll Call that he’ll make another run for the seat, unless a redistricting plan to protect the state’s 11 incumbents clears the General Assembly.
Fimian said a map designed to protect those currently in office is what “any self-centered politician would want” and that incumbents are more concerned about being re-elected than the fiscal health of the country. With Congress still unable to pass a budget, Fimian said Congress needs members who are willing to make serious cuts in government spending.
“Everything I’ve criticized Connolly for is more true today than it was last year,” he said.

Connolly beat Fimian by 12 points in 2008, but managed to eke out a win by a 981-vote margin during the 2010 election cycle.
