Thanks to an 11th-hour nomination, U.S. Rep. Norman Sisisky will have a Republican opponent in November after all.
At midday Tuesday, the last day parties could nominate candidates for the fall ballot, 4th District Republicans meeting in Colonial Heights nominated Tony Zevgolis, a Hopewell city councilman who lost to Sisisky in 1992.
That means there will be contested races in all four Hampton Roads congressional districts this fall.
Zevgolis, 59, runs an insurance agency in Hopewell. Sisisky, a seven-term Democrat, beat him by a 2-to-1 margin four years ago.
The 4th District stretches from Chesapeake, Portsmouth and Suffolk west and then north to Louisa County.
