No Show LuAnn Bennett Just Isn't That Into The 10th District

September 2nd, 2016 - Fairfax, Virginia – Congresswoman Barbara Comstock (Republican-VA) is out working with and hearing from constituents every day, while her opponent LuAnn Bennett (Democrat–Ritz Carlton, DC) focuses on introducing herself to primarily Democrat activists in a District she isn’t familiar with because she hasn’t lived in the 10^th Congressional District for most of the past decade and her entire career is focused on the DC Real Estate scene.

“While LuAnn Bennett was in Napa Valley with her friend Nancy Pelosi, Congresswoman Barbara Comstock was receiving The U.S. Chamber endorsement at a local Loudoun winery. It seems LuAnn is bored with the 10^th. When asked by a liberal blog on what impact she would have on policy if elected, LuAnn Bennett (Democrat–Ritz Carlton, DC) talked about her boondoggle trips with her out-of-touch ex-husband, former 8th District Congressman Jim Moran. She likes to travel! Congresswoman Comstock is out in our community talking with her constituents 24/7. No one works harder for the people of Virginia’s 10^th Congressional District", said Matt Ames, Chairman of the Fairfax County Republican Committee.
