re: #202 ckkatz

I was really impressed with the voter contact and gotv done by all the Democratic candidates in VA 10. Jennifer Wexton is a State Senator and appears to have support of State party. I received a letter from Gov Northam and a live call from my state delegate in her support. I think she has a good chance of finally booting out Comstock. I believe that the district was gerrymandered for Comstock’s Republican predecessor, Wolf. So this has been a long time in coming.

At my precinct voting station, I was able to chat with Alison Friedman (her voter outreach was amazing) and Lindsay Stover’s husband. I believe that all the other Democratic candidates had representatives there as well.

This is the first time in my 30 years of voting in this district that I have seen this level of energy and enthusiasm on the Democratic side. I truly felt bad that I could only pick one.

They were all great candidates. You are correct about the district. Wolf got elected not long before my parents met and my parents are grandparents now. I’ve lived here my whole life pretty much. I think Comstock is in serious trouble. Wexton will be able to get a WaPo endorsement over her which means something here. I voted Lindsey but I liked the other five in their own ways.
