Barbara Comstock is scared. She's scared because her #GOPTaxScam hurts #VA10 families. She's scared because she votes with Trump 98% of the time. She's scared because she is beholden to the NRA and special interests. And she's scared because #VA10 voters are ready for change.
We released our first TV and cable ad. We’ve cut taxes for families and businesses and our economy is booming and bringing good paying jobs to Virginia’s 10th District and the country. But my opponent, ranked the #1 liberal in the state senate, wants to halt our prosperity. #VA10

More than 50% of the women killed with guns in the U.S. are murdered by their partners. But in states that have comprehensive background checks, 47% fewer women are shot to death by partners. We need to do better at the federal level and we will do better in the next Congress.
Dr. Tamara O'Neal, along with two others, were shot by a gunman at Chicago’s Mercy Hospital. She was murdered by her former fiancé. She recently broke off an engagement with him. abc7.ws/2zkwpd2
