Walton: Eliminating Headwinds in the 10th, it’s Time for Hill to Withdraw

By Matt Walton

As we have turned the corner from the 2017 campaign season there is one thing for sure in 2018: Republicans face a stiff headwind when it comes to any election, and for Virginia Congresswoman Barbara Comstock the winds just got much stronger.

In a race that both the Cook Political Report and Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball rate a toss-up, today Democratic mega-donor billionaire Tom Steyer pledged  $30 million to target key Republican members of Congress. Steyer plans to use his NextGen America PAC to focus on 10 states, he said. Top targets for Steyer include House Speaker Paul Ryan, Rep. Darrell Issa, and Rep. Comstock.

In a district that Hillary Clinton won by 7 percent, and Ralph Northam won by 11 percent, Comstock had the fundraising advantage at the end of the third quarter, raising $477,000 and reporting $985,000 in cash on hand, while the leading Democrat State Sen. Jennifer Wexton had $255,000 raised and $346,000 in cash on hand.

This is a race that we cannot afford to lose and Congresswoman Comstock needs to have all the available resources. Unfortunately, Comstock will have to spend money fighting a flawed candidate in Shak Hill to win the primary.

Comstock is the only person that can hold the 10th for the GOP.  Given that the headwinds just got stronger today with Steyer’s announcement, it would be wise for Hill to withdraw and drop out of the race so that Comstock can save resources and begin the general election campaign while the Democrats fight in a primary. Now is a time to look at the bigger picture and put the party above self, and I encourage Hill to come to that realization.
