Yet ANOTHER Democrat announces for the Virginia 10th CD nomination to take on Rep. Barbara Comstock (R) next year. The other announced Democratic candidates are Dan Helmer are Kimberly Adams, while State Sen. Jennifer Wexton and Fairfax County Board member Kathy Smith are possibilities. Also, I’d note that I’m increasingly hearing that Virginia First Lady Dorothy McAuliffe is seriously thinking about running against Comstock next year. If she runs, I wonder what other Democratic candidates will do.
Lindsey Davis Stover of Fairfax County Declares Candidacy to Represent Virginia’s 10th Congressional District
Working Mother, Small Business Owner, Advocate, and Former Obama Administration Official Launches Campaign to Put VA10 Communities First.
McLean, VA – Lindsey Davis Stover, a working mother, wife, small business owner, Veterans advocate, and former Obama Administration Official from Fairfax County, Virginia, today announced her campaign to represent Virginia’s 10th Congressional District.
“Northern Virginia is my home, where my husband and I chose to raise our daughters and make a life for ourselves,” said Stover. “In this moment of uncertainty for our State and our Nation, everyone is asking how they can help turn things around. For me, I cannot sit by and simply hope that my daughters will grow up in a land of opportunity, where anyone who works hard can provide opportunity and security for their families, where we’re all in this together. Our district deserves a member of Congress who has the courage to stand up to President Trump’s divisiveness and put the needs of our communities first. In Donald Trump and Barbara Comstock’s America, the ladder of opportunity will stay broken, good people will be pitted against each other, and hard work will not result in opportunities for our families. This campaign will be about going door-to-door, neighborhood-to-neighborhood and community-to-community, to build a better future and put government back to work for us.”
Lindsey has been endorsed by community members across Virginia’s 10th Congressional District including:
- Linda McCray, Veteran, working mom and community activist in Leesburg, VA.
- Marci Love Thomas, Veteran, children’s soccer coach and fellow Sunday School teacher in McLean, VA.
- Christy Mistr, working mom, small business owner, and community volunteer in Upperville, VA.
- Edward Meagher, Veteran and Businessman in McLean, VA.
- Jennifer Adelli, working mom, small business owner, community volunteer in Great Falls, VA.
- The Singh Family who are proud parents in Fairfax Station, VA.
- Lea Ann Edwards, former PTA President at Langley High School in McLean, VA.
- Jennifer and Darin Walsh, working parents in McLean, VA.
Lindsey will be building her campaign from the grassroots up.
“Lindsey’s entire adult life has been about creating opportunity for other people. She is committed to our community and has the courage it requires to fight for us.” said, Linda McCray, Veteran, working mom, and community activist in Leesburg, VA.
Lindsey, a lifelong Democrat, promised, “This campaign isn’t about me. It’s about working together to put the people of this district and our communities first. It will be about standing up for the farmer outside Purcellville and the healthcare workers in Manassas. It will be about fighting for the working families in Sterling and the educators in Winchester. It will be about people like my friend Christy Mistr who owns a woman-owned small business in Upperville and works every day to support women entrepreneurs in our communities.”
