Letter: Stealth Candidate

To the Editor:

Why won’t Comstock speak to us?

As the race for the 10th District congressional race enters its final weeks, Barbara Comstock continues to employ her stealth tactics of avoiding questions from the press, not showing up for debates, and limiting audience access to her in public forums. I wonder what she is hiding.

Surprisingly, she doesn’t even appear in her own commercials. In an ad attacking John Foust for a misstatement about Comstock’s career, an actress is used to suggest that a lawyer like her indeed has a career.

It just seems odd that an ad addressing such a personal message would not have the candidate speak for herself.

John Foust, her rival, is much more accessible and direct about his positions on the issues. We have endured the silent Comstock for three terms in the Virginia House of Delegates. We deserve better representation in the U.S. Congress. If you don’t want a stealth congressman, vote for John Foust.
