Comstock Earns Support of the Virginia Police Benevolent Association
(Fairfax, VA – August 27, 2018) — The Virginia Police Benevolent Association (VAPBA) is pleased to announce that Congresswoman Barbara Comstock (R-VA) has earned the endorsement of the VAPBA for re-election to Congress for Virginia’s 10th Congressional District.
“The law enforcement community throughout Virginia’s 10th Congressional District has no better friend and advocate than Congresswoman Barbara Comstock,” said Joseph Woloszyn, Virginia Police Benevolent Association Division President. “Congresswoman Barbara Comstock works hand in hand on a nearly daily basis with the local law enforcement community battling the heroin epidemic and taking on the scourge of human trafficking. It is vitally important for the law enforcement community to return a great advocate for them and the public to Congress, and we look forward to continuing to work with Congresswoman Barbara Comstock as she heads towards another victory in November.
“I am honored to have earned the Virginia Police Benevolent Association’s endorsement once again,” said Congresswoman Barbara Comstock. “I worked closely with them and our law enforcement community on my Project Safe Neighborhoods legislation that was signed into law earlier this year. This law enforcement priority legislation provides much needed resources to proven community-based policing programs that is focused on reducing gun violence, drug crime, and gang related crime like MS-13. I have also worked with local law enforcement on the heroin and opioid epidemic including helping get HIDTA designation in the western part of the district and getting $4 billion in resources for education, prevention, and treatment to address this crisis. I look forward to continue my work with the Virginia Police Benevolent Association and our entire law enforcement community in the new Congress, and I appreciate the PBA’s continued support of my campaign.”

Who are the fake cops?
Sucking up to a public employee special interest organization is not something to brag about. Do candidates that get support from teachers’ unions promote education more than those that do not? No. They support the interests of the employees over the interests of the overall mission the employees are hired for. Same is true LEO organizations. They are organized to protect and serve the police, not to protect and serve the public.
But voters presume that the organizations have a vested interest in the overall success.
Would teachers want lousy public education?
Would cops want lousy law and order?
The voters want to trust their public servants.
