Here is a disappointment, but not a surprise. Tom Davis has endorsed Keith Fimian.
Dear Friends, I am writing to you today for two very important reasons. First of all, I want to be sure you are aware my campaign has been fully endorsed by Congressman Tom Davis. Tom has been very instrumental to my campaign and last week he sent out a formal letter of endorsement to many of his constituents on my behalf (click here for the letter). Below are some excerpts from Tom’s letter:
“I could not and would not have taken this step, unless I knew there was a strong Republican candidate waiting in the wings to replace me-a committed Republican who shares our values and can provide the leadership our district desperately needs in congress. Keith Fimian is that Republican. That is why I have strongly endorsed him.”
“Keith and I have talked extensively about how he would serve Virginia’s 11th District. He wants to bring more efficiency, accountability, and innovation to the government – things that he knows well from his success in the private sector.”Keith has created hundreds of new jobs for our economy here in northern Virginia and wants to bring that know-how with him from his success in the private sector.”"Keith can win this seat and serve us well, but not without our help. Your help is essential for Keith and what he wants to do in Washington.”
“Keith needs our help. He needs it today. And the best way you can help right now is to support his campaign with a contribution.”
“And by acting before March 31 you can have a huge impact on this race and help make the difference for Keith.”
“Please let me know today that you will join with me to help Keith Fimian by contributing $2,300, $1,500, $1,000, $500, $250, $100, $50 or $35 today.”
The last quotes from Tom Davis’ letter bring me to my next point. Today, March 31st, is the final day to contribute to my campaign for this quarter. In order to show the Democrats (and even Republicans!) that we are serious about winning this race and keeping this seat out of the hands of radical liberals such as Leslie Byrne and tax and spend Democrats like Gerry Connolly, we must show our strength right now by our ability to fundraise.
This will send a clear message to everyone watching this race that we CAN and WILL win in November. That’s why your contribution today will make all the difference. We now have less than 24 hours to raise another $20,000 which will put us over the $800,000 mark, our goal for the quarter.
Join me today in reaching this CRUCIAL goal. Just as Tom Davis said, your help truly makes all the difference. Click HERE to make a secure online donation Right NOW
Best regards,-Keith
P.S. One last quote from Tom’s letter: “Keith has a reporting deadline on March 31. Your contribution will show the strength of Republicans, and help Keith move forward with his campaign. We must stay on equal footing with the Democrats. If we don’t fight for our values, who will? If we don’t stand up now, when will we have another chance?”
“Your personal gift of $2,300, $1,500, $1,000, $500, $250, $100, $50 or even $35 today is absolutely critical to achieve Republican victory in November.”
Keith S. Fimian
Candidate for U.S. Congress
Politics, unfortunately, requires a majority to get elected. Effective politics also requires a majority in the legislature. So as much as we might like to, we cannot ignore the “moderate” wing of the Republican Party. Sometimes, in the absence of a better alternative, we even have to vote for “moderate” Republicans (GRRRR!). So it is I can forgive Fimian for seeking and accepting Davis’ endorsement. Nonetheless, if Fimian is elected, I sure hope he does not vote like Tom Davis.

Keith Fimian is more conservative then Tom Davis.
Rebecca – I hope so.
