From The Washington Post, about the moderate-conservative Republican: " Former congressman Artur Davis, who represented Alabama as a
Democrat before moving to Virginia and the Republican Party, is
considering a bid for the Virginia state senate or Congress, according
to three Republicans with knowledge of his thinking. Davis has met with a Virginia campaign consultant and several
operatives to assess the viability of running for state Senate in 2015
or seeking the U.S. House seat held by Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va.) if the
congressman retires, according to two of those people, who asked not to
be named in order to discuss a private matter. He has no intention of
challenging Wolf, they said. The third person, former Republican congressman Tom Davis, confirmed
that Artur Davis talked to him recently about possible runs for various
offices, including state Senate."
More: "Davis, who lives in heavily Democratic Arlington, is said to be
considering moving into a more competitive district. Reached via e-mail
Saturday, he declined to comment."
