FAIRFAX, Va. - Gerry Connolly's election to the House of Representatives may spark two more elections.
Connolly intends to stay in his current position as chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors until he is sworn in to Congress.
At that point, the Board of Supervisors will have to get a judge to set the day for a special election to replace Connolly.
Should one of the current board members run for his post and win, another election would have to be called to fill the new chairman's old job.
"I'm preparing to make an announcement that I will be running," says Board Vice Chairman Sharon Bulova, who's a Democrat.
Her announcement is expected in a week or so.
She may face another supervisor, Republican Pat Herrity.
The special elections could be in February and March.
A similar situation occurred back in 1995 when Tom Davis was elected to Congress
