Senior Northern Virginia Senator Will Seek Another Term
Manassas State Senator Chuck Colgan (D) has announced that he will seek an additional term of office, ending months of speculation that he may retire. Sen. Colgan is not only the longest-serving sitting member General Assembly, but also chairs the powerful Senate Finance Committee - a position that he leveraged over the years to bring home the bacon for Northern Virginia for many years. Colgan's decision to seek reelection not only benefits Northern Virginia, but bolsters the prospects for the Senate Democrats to maintain their slim majority control of the State Senate. AOBA has worked closely with Sen. Colgan over the years, including working on homestead exemption legislation several years ago.
