Colgan Will Seek Reelection

Sen. Charles Colgan (D-29th, Manassas, Prince William)
Prince William County, Va. –– Sen. Charles J. Colgan (D, 28 – Manassas, Prince William) is going to make another go of it.

After word the long serving state senator would step down this year, the 84-year-old announced yesterday that couldn’t be further from the truth.

“I’m going to give it one more shot,” he said. “I talked to my family and a lot of my friends — I’ve gotten literally dozens of phone calls. I walked into McDonald’s and a man said, ‘I’ve been a Republican all my life and you’re my favorite Democrat. Don’t you dare quit.’ ” he told the Washington Post.

In both 2003 and 2007 Colgan said he would step down from his position which he was elected to in 1975.

Last week, he told PotomacLocal.com that he was beginning to feel his age and that he would like to spend more time with his family.

Colgan will seek reelection this fall, and voters will have the chance to put him back in office Nov. 8.
