Further complicating matters for Colgan, he has gained a lot of precincts that he has not previously represented in eastern Prince William County (some of the district now reaches east of U.S. 1 nearly to the Potomac River) where the population is more transient due to the presence of military families as well as a lot of new development, so a large swath of voters will have never even heard of him before in what will be a very low-turnout election.  Add to this Colgan’s war chest only stood at $27,485 as of June 30th and you’ve got a recipe brewing for an upset.

Tom is the President of the Armed Forces Marketing Council and previously served from April 2009 to February 2010 in Iraq as the Legislative Affairs Officer and Deputy Public Affairs Officer to U.S. Army Gen. Ray Odierno, Commander, Multi-National Forces-Iraq.  According to his bio:

He worked for six-years on Capitol Hill, serving as a Communications Director, Defense Policy Advisor, and Chief of Staff to two successive Members of Congress representing Virginia’s Second Congressional District.

In Gordy, Republicans have nominated a candidate with solid communications and legislative experience who can appeal to the large military and veteran population in the district.  This race is one to watch, folks!
