Let's flip #VA10! I'm co-hosting a last-minute fundraiser for @JenniferWexton. Virginia needs a progressive leader, and it's time for GOP @RepComstock to step down.

Right before midterms. Right when it counts. Put your money where your mouth is.

Here's why I, as an immigration lawyer and #VA10 resident, believe we've moved past Comstock. She has succumbed to the race-baiting GOP party line. She can't be seen as true Republican if she doesn't conflate the entire Latino community with MS-13.

Despite her persistent and curious claims that @JenniferWexton wants to let gang members into Virginia, she voted in favor of freeing ICE to detain and deport anyone, without prioritization for the dangerous ones.

That makes us all LESS safe.

She joined white nationalist @SteveKingIA by voting to bar them from enlisting in the US military, and prohibiting federal funding from being used to reapply for DACA (deferred action)

She has supported wasting our money on the ridiculous border wall.

In response to the horrors of children being ripped from their parents, and subsequent reports of sexual abuse of children, Comstock's response was to write a letter to Jeff Sessions and others seeking "clarification on how this Administration makes those determinations."

Her prior record as a Virginia legislator isn't any better. She voted to burden state police with determining citizenship status of arrestees, and also to bar undocumented immigrants from enrolling in public universities.

Comstock is not what Virginia needs.

It appears she would rather spend taxpayer money detaining and deporting people, instead of empowering them to fight toward lawful status and be able to achieve prosperity.

Yet she claims to represent the best interests of #VA10.

No thanks. We need a new vision. That's Wexton.
