If you live in Virginia’s 11th Congressional District, please make sure that you vote in today’s Republican primary (you can find your polling place here).  Unfortunately, we can’t send Gerry Rodham Connolly home today, but this is the beginning of the end of his time on Capitol Hill.  I’m convinced that either of the Republican candidates–Keith Fimian or Pat Herrity–would be terrific public servants, especially compared to Gerry Rodham Connolly.  I hadn’t planned on endorsing anyone in the primary, but the recent flap over the proposed Day-Laborer Center in Centreville changed my mind.

Fimian’s opposition was swift and unambiguous.  Pat Herrity’s response was not.  Moreover, as Greg from Black Velvet Bruce Li noted yesterday, Keith has always had an energetic presence at the local Tea Party rallies and was vocal in his opposition to socialized medicine.  In addition to being a principled conservative, Keith is in the best position to take back the 11th District Congressional seat this November.  As such, Keith Fimian has earned my full endorsement.
