Gerald Edward Connolly (born March 30, 1950) is a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives from Virginia's 11th congressional district, first elected in 2008.
The district is anchored in Fairfax County, an affluent suburban county west of Washington, D. C.
Early life
Connolly graduated from Maryknoll College in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, with a B.A. in literature in 1971, and completed a Master of Public Administration from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government in 1979.
Personal life
Connolly and his wife Cathy have lived in Mantua since 1979.
Connolly is also a company member of The Providence Players of Fairfax, a community theatre in Fairfax County, having acted in several of their shows.
In 2004, Connolly was charged with "a misdemeanor count of hit and run" after causing an estimated $500 worth of property damage to a 2003 Ford Explorer and Connolly's 2003 Toyota Camry. Connolly claims he did not realize a collision took place when he swerved and then immediately stalled, forcing the Explorer to collide into Connolly's left front wheel. The Fairfax County Police Department was criticized for giving Connolly special treatment and potentially saving him from being forced to resign for a felony instead of a misdemeanor charge. A judge later dismissed the misdemeanor charge against Connolly, saying Connolly's "position and his duties have caused him to be oblivious to what is going on in his car". David Freddoso criticized the judge's ruling in the Washington Examiner.
Early career
Connolly served from 1979 to 1989 with the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, where he oversaw committee oversight of international economic policy, international drug control, and Middle East and Middle East policies, as well as published studies on US policies in El Salvador, Central America, Israel, and the Persian Gulf region. He served as Vice President of SRI International from 1989 to 1997. He was also the Director of Community Relations for SAIC (Science Applications International Corporation).
Connolly served on the Fairfax Government Reorganization Commission from 1992 to 1993, and was active in local politics. He was elected Providence District Supervisor in 1995 and served for nine years.
