A former federal prosecutor is now the ninth Democrat to announce plans to challenge Rep. Barbara Comstock, R-10th District, in the 2018 midterms.
Paul Pelletier of McLean launched his campaign Nov. 1 to represent the hotly contested district, which covers a variety of Northern Virginia suburbs, including parts of Fairfax and Prince William counties.
Pelletier currently works as an attorney at Washington, D.C., law firm Pepper Hamilton, but he previously spent 27 years as a prosecutor with the Department of Justice before leaving for private practice in 2011. In a news release announcing his candidacy, Pelletier describes himself as “a career public servant with a non-partisan record of solving difficult problems,” citing his record directing high-profile cases like the prosecution of lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
“For almost three decades I took on crooked Wall Street executives, drug kingpins, big pharma, criminal doctors and attorneys and corrupt politicians from both sides of the aisle,” Pelletier said in a statement. “Washington is failing us because our elected officials are not representing us. We desperately need better than what we are getting from Barbara Comstock. Her voting record shows she is more concerned with helping Paul Ryan and the party leaders than helping the people of our district.”
Specifically, Pelletier claims Comstock is an “established politician” who has been “failing to bring resources to arm us in fighting the opioid epidemic” and “staying silent on the infrastructure bill that would not only begin to address Northern Virginia’s transportation issues, but also provide good jobs and pump up our economy.” He also criticized Comstock for her previous votes to repeal former President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, though she did decline to support efforts by House Republican to strike down the law this year.
Pelletier’s time at the Justice Department overlapped briefly with Comstock’s, when she served as the department’s director of public affairs before making the jump to elected office. She has represented the district since first winning the seat in 2014, fending off a series of pricey Democratic challenges in the left-leaning district.

This is part of the Democrats' War on Women.
Why do democrats hate women leaders so much? It's just good that the disgusting women-haters and abusers of the DNC are finally being held accountable!
No more liberal rapists like Bill Clinton! No more women killers like Ted Kennedy! No more gropers like Al Franken! No more pedos like Anthony Wiener and all-hands Joe Biden!
