Will Jim Riley Run for Rob Wittman’s seat in Congress? I’ve been told Jim Riley of Prince William county may consider a run for Rob Wittman’s Congressional seat if Wittman vacates the seat to run for Governor. Riley previously considered a run for the 1st Congressional seat in 2007. He addressed that decision here.

Who, what, is this guy?
The problem is Wittman doesn’t have to resign his seat to run for Governor. He only has to resign it if he wins. The two seats are on different election cycles.
Wittman can run for re-election in 2016, then run for Governor in 2017. If he loses the primary/convention, or loses in the General, he is still Congressman Wittman, and can run for re-election to Congress in 2018.
Personally, I don’t think he will make it past the primary/convention stage.
Correct he doesn’t and likely wouldn’t if he decides to run.
I think Wittman will make it more interesting — what are the rules for second-placers et al going for LG or AG?
Jim Riley is what is known as a legend in his own mind. His belief in his own self importance is the joke of PWC. The guys claim to fame other than being a local blogger is that he once worked next in a cubicle to Paul Ryan. This guy posted a photo of his HOA award on his Facebook.!Who does that!
He always threatens to run for office against Supervisor Maureen Caddigan and backs out last minute with one excuse after the other. He wrote a letter to a local paper in PWC stating why he is resigning from the Republican Committee in PWC because he could not support Caddigan. Lke folks in PWC are worried about what Riley thinks.
Sounds more like he should be worried about stalkers like you.
