VA-11: Virginia Republican plans to spend $2 million on special election
EXCLUSIVE — Nathan Headrick is prepared to spend up to $2 million of his money to finance a congressional campaign to succeed the late Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) in Virginia, a source familiar with the topic confirmed to the Washington Examiner.
Headrick, a banking executive and Republican, will begin his campaign on Monday for the solidly Democratic seat in deep-blue northern Virginia.
Should he emerge from the GOP primary, Headrick would tap into his finances to support the uphill battle to flip the state's 11th Congressional District, which covers most of Fairfax County.
“This is an inspiring time. Virginia and America need more elected leaders with the right experience to get things done," Headrick said in a statement to the Washington Examiner. "It’s been humbling to hear from so many people who want me to take this step, and I can’t wait to share more next week.”
