Political Action Committee
In September 2011, Fimian started the Growth, Opportunity, and Prosperity (GOP) Fund, a political action committee which seeks "to elect pro-business candidates dedicated to keeping Virginia a great state for business by building a vibrant economy in every corner of the Commonwealth." The PAC had raised over $235,000 by its first Federal Election Commission quarterly filing deadline on September 30, 2011, and had raised over $300,000 by its first state filing deadline on October 17, 2011. Fimian proceeded to give nearly $100,000 in PAC money to Republican candidates for the General Assembly and local offices in the 2011 elections, making contributions to 47 candidates (including the maximum $5,000 contribution to a dozen state Senate candidates).
