Who are you voting for in the primary for the VA 10th Congressional District?

Lindsey, for sure Babs has got to go.

Friedman has raised more money than the next 2 primary candidates combined. Whether we like it or not, that is going to matter in November. Lindsey is 4th out of 6 in fundraising.

Alison has a lot of money from outside due to connections

I am not too worried about fundraising - once a candidate is picked, funds will definitely come for this race

Hello neighbor!


one of these days, I need to figure out who my neighbors are that are posting HOWDY!


I’m over in Franklin Farms. We need a DCUM meetup.

Friedman put in $1 million of her own money for her campaign.

Alison Friedman's fundraising is something like 80% from California. I haven't decided between Wexton (who was a great state senator for our family) and Stover yet, but I'm definitely not voting for Helmer or Friedman. Barbara Comstock's people would be licking their lips if one of them emerged victorious from the primary.

Please comment further. What makes you think this?

Dan Helmer = has horrible campaign ads (check out his "you lost that centrist feeling" entry), likened Trump to Osama Bin Laden (although the majority of the district dislikes Trump, this rhetoric is not appealing), basically 100% gun control focused campaign, and would be a democratic man vs. a republican women matchup in the general election, subsequently some suburban women would vote for Comstock as a woman.

Friedman = semi-carpetbagger (I think she moved from DC a year ago), very California focused support and donations (she has the endorsement of Alyssa Milano and other Hollywood people that have nothing to do with NoVA), and from many reports, not charismatic.

Stover and Wexton both seem like good choices. Stover is authentic and actually lives (and has lived) in the district. Wexton is an elected official who has a significant base of support in Loudoun county. Comstock lost Loudoun by 1 point in the 2016 race. Wexton can rack up votes there like Northam did last year.

I hope you're voting for comstock because you'd be ok with her possibly winning. I'd hate to see terrible options on the ballot like the last presidential election.



Yes, voted for her for state delegate, and twice for Congress.


Why else would I vote for her? She's doing a good job for the most part. She is representing her constituents.


I disagree. Her position on guns and taxes in particular is completely contrary to the wishes of her constituents.

Wexton had some pro-NRA votes as a state senator. No thanks. I am definitely voting for Friedman. She is very anti-NRA, and that is the #1 issue for me.

You honestly think that most voters want higher taxes?

My polling my place is my child’s ES which is obviously still in session. I’ve never voted in a primary before - do I still vote in the same place?

Check your voter registration card, but yes, most likely you vote in the same place you usually do.
