Foust, Comstock each top $600,000 in latest fundraising period

If fundraising is any indication, it will be a close race between the two candidates vying to replace 33-year Congressman Frank Wolf.

Democrat John Foust’s outpaced Republican Barbara Comstock in the second fundraising quarter by $89,134, according to numbers released by the campaigns today. Foust brought in $699,931 during the April 7-June 30 reporting period and Comstock raised $610,797.

In a statement announcing his fundraising numbers, Foust said he is grateful for the outpouring of support. “Whether it’s cutting wasteful spending or supporting important priorities that our community cares about like education, Northern Virginia residents want to send the kind of practical problem-solving we practice in Fairfax to Washington–and these numbers are more proof that our message is resonating across the district.”

Foust has much more overall to spend at this point. He ended the quarter with more than $1.1 million cash on hand, while Comstock ended with $575,890 cash on hand.

Referring to that figure, Comstock’s Press Secretary Johanna Persing said in an emailed statement, “We emerged with a strong showing from an expensive six way primary and hit the ground running.”

She noted that Foust’s total cash on hand includes $400,000 he loaned to the campaign.

“10th District families know Barbara is a leader with a legislative record of creating jobs, saving taxpayer dollars and reforming government,” Persing said. “She is the only candidate in this race with the vision, leadership and the record to promote policies that will bring prosperity to the community and our country.”

Comstock, of McLean, is a former Wolf staffer, and has represented the 34th District in the House of Delegates since 2010. Foust, also of McLean, has represented the Dranesville District on the Fairfax Board of Supervisors since 2007.

The full financial reports for the second quarter will be released later this week.

Actually, no. We know her as a person who voted for "personhood," unnecessary ultrasound invasion, voted against the transportation bill, voted against teacher raises, and voted to repeal the one gun purchase a month law.

We also know her as a friend and admirer of Mark Levin and Sean Hannity.

We know here as an obstructionist, and a person who is not shy about smearing judges and prosecutors involved in legal cases of obstruction of justice and money laundering. We also know that, if elected, she will waist time voting to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and further extend the Benghazi investigations.

We know Barbara. No amount of crooked smiles, Lyme decease marches, or American Flags with her name and political message attached to them is going to change the fact that Barbara has worked against the best interests of her constituents, and has kept some pretty politically shady company over the years.

Look, she brags about being “friends” with Mark Levin and Sean Hannity. Who else is in the Hannity/Levin inner circle? Ted Cruz, Rick Santorum, Sarah Palin, Mike Lee, Oliver North, Louie Gohmert, Michele Bachmann, Newt Gingrich, Scott Walker, and Ted Nugent. Do we really need someone in Congress representing us that will give credence to the Tom DeLay, Sean Hannity and Mark Levin political agenda?

Yet we know that Foust is the real hypocrite here. He screams for Medicaid expansion and brags about how his wife is his medical advisor--yet she does not accept Medicaid in her own practice which happens to be a ritzy FoxHall group. She practices along with her co-hypocrite colleague: Mrs. Eric Holder.

Kind of like Md governor O'Malley--we need to keep the unaccompanied immigrant children here--just not in my state.

Fuck you both, I have 600K in ready cash.

Dr. Jerome has worked tirelessly in using her medical training to help women and children around the world. She is a medical volunteer and mentor at GWU Hospital,She serves on Emergency Relief boards, ad she has travelled to Africa annually to spearhead AIDS inititives, and orphan issues.

BTW, she is not the owner or manager of the FoxHall Group, and the American College of OBGYN has endorsed John Foust over a woman, Barbara Comstock.

Yet she still doesn't accept Medicaid.

anyone who donates to either one of thees idiots is a fucking moron

Foust and the Democrats continue to send out emails to their supporters claiming how the Republicans are providing more money to Barbara Comstock. Totally false and just a scare tactic. But it helped them raise a lot more money than Comstock this quarter.

Foust is positioning himself as a left-of-Connolly candidate, supporting the Obama and Pelosi agendas. Good luck with that. They are scared, which is why you see them flinging everything negative they can think of at her.

Comstock is positioning herself as the next Frank Wolf, who she worked for and with for many years. Her own state district very much supports her and she is just expanding that message to the entire 10th district.

The Washington Post predicts a 99% chance that Comstock will win this one.

Just say no to Foust's communist ideology. The DNC has move waaaay too far left. The last thing America needs is another Obamahead to drag us further towards a North Korean-style system.

The Democrats have moved to the center. It's the republicans that have moved to the far fringes of the right...If you cannot recognize that, then you shouldn't even be listening to yourself, much less Fox News. This isn't hard to verify--read some history before inserting yourself into a discussion (or is this a shouting match?)

"BTW, she is not the owner or manager of the FoxHall Group, and the American College of OBGYN has endorsed John Foust over a woman, Barbara Comstock."

Well, according to the website, the insurance accepted varies according to physician. So, I guess this is up to her--whether or not she accepts Medicaid.

Don't you think that "center" is a relative term? I think the GOP is much more center than the Dems. The Progressive wing wants to "equalize" the income of everyone (except, of course, themselves.)

Have you been asleep the last 6 years? Even the self-proclaimed experts on this board who side with the Democrat party are pushing for more free services for the general population.

Free birth control, free lunches, free college, free housing... all Democrat ideals. By definition, those are leftist policies.

If Democrats have moved to the center, why does the Obama administration routinely announce policy decisions late on Friday afternoons when no one is paying attentions. In the past, administration of both parties have announced bad news end of the workweek. The Obama administration does it regularly because it knows its policies are too far left for the general public and will be unpopular.

Talking in such extremes and name calling clearly conveys you are not comfortably proficient to verbalize and debate the real political issues at hand. In other words, in order to make yourself feel well versed, and present yourself as knowledgeable and credible, you just lowered your cognitive comfort levels to that of a fourth grader in order for you to “debate” political philosophy.

You didn’t think we would catch you on this?

If you are going to equivocate complex issues down to a fourth grade mentality of black and white thinking, false associations, and name calling, while presenting misunderstood fallacies as givens, then there is no benefit of debate.

I guess deep down you didn't want debate; you mentally regressed and acted childish to distract us from your dearth of real knowledge.

Foust would represent Northern Virginia well. Comstock is a Neo Con loving leftover of disastrous Republicanism.

If you like liberal hypocrites.
