Two GOP incumbents – Thelma Drake and Virgil Goode – were locked in tight races late Tuesday.
Connolly, chairman of the Fairfax County Board of
Supervisors, defeated Republican Keith Fimian in northern Virginia’s 11th District to cut into the GOP’s 8-3 advantage in the state’s delegation. Connolly had the benefit of greater name recognition and demographic changes that have titled the district more Democratic.
