Northern Virginia Tea Party Leader John Jaggers Backs Comstock

Del. Barbara Comstock

Del. Barbara Comstock

Comstock scores a major endorsement on the heels of straw poll success, building palpable momentum just as the nomination contest reaches the home stretch.

Coming immediately on the heels of her crushing victory in the Loudoun County Republican straw poll (she apparently more than doubled the combined vote of all of her opponents put together), Del. Barbara Comstock has now picked up a key endorsement from one of the most prominent tea party leaders in and around the 10th District.

John Jaggers, one of the central organizers of the Northern Virginia Tea Party, today announced his enthusiastic support for Comstock. With endorsements like this, alongside an impressive raft of endorsements from Republicans and conservatives ranging all the way from Mitt Romney to radio talker Mark Levin, Comstock is showing a breadth of support that her opponents can only dream about.

The full text of Jaggers’ endorsement is below. Note, Jaggers offers his endorsement in his personal capacity only, and not on behalf of the Northern Virginia Tea Party.

In the 10th Congressional District Republican Primary, we have candidates who are all conservative. But one candidate stands above the rest. One has carried our conservative message while reaching out to broader constituencies. We need to have a winning coalition in this key Congressional swing district the Democrats will target with millions of dollars this fall.

Delegate Barbara Comstock has won three hard fought races in some of the toughest areas of the 10th Congressional District despite being a target of unions, NARAL, and Michael Bloomberg gun control groups. She has carried our conservative message and outworked her competitors. Election results prove her success. She won 10.6% more of the VA 34 district than the consultant-led state-wide races for Republicans. She beat her Dem candidate and Terry McAuliffe by 1.6%.

She worked with grassroots activists – including Tea Party activists such as myself – in opposing tax increases, working to stop Obamacare in Virginia; and fighting for our pro-life, pro-2nd amendment, and pro-taxpayer values. She’s worked with our leaders and most importantly won key legislative victories and elections for us.

Barbara is a representative who lives our values, votes our values, advances our values and carries our message to a broad center right coalition. We need a candidate who works with their constituents, listens, and then votes to make their lives better using conservative legislation and policy.

I heartily endorse Barbara and encourage all those conservatives who support conservative and Taxed Enough Already principles to support Barbara Comstock for Congress in the 10th Congressional District. Barbara has my support for the 10th congressional district.

Note: all statistics are derived from the results posted by the Virginia State Board of Elections

The party canvass to decide the nomination will be held on Saturday, April 26.

The endorsement is a major mistake. Major. She is no more conservative than Harry Reid and we KNOW he isn’t a conservative.

Very impressive!

I wouldn’t characterize one single tea party coordinator’s endorsement as a “major endorsement”. Interesting? Maybe, sure. I’d like to see a growing consensus before its considered notable.

Fair enough, Eric. From where I sit, Jaggers is among the most well known and influential tea party leaders in that part of the state, and I think his endorsement matters more than most.

Yes, John Jaggers is the Tea Party Leader in Loudoun County, the biggest part of the 10th district, so his endorsement is significant.

Over the last three or four years I have seen Howie Lind attend John Jaggers’ Loudoun Tea Party meetings with some frequency. John has introduced Howie several times, being very supportive of Howie’s conservative credentials. At last month’s meeting, Jaggers had a glowing introduction of Lind. It would have come as no surprise if John Jaggers had endorsed Howie Lind. Stephen Hollingshead has also attend Loudoun Tea Party meetings as has Bob Marshall. Barbara Comstock has never attended a Tea Party meeting in Loudoun county, so this endorsement comes as a surprise. Perhaps I missed those meetings where Barbara was in attendance. I look forward to seeing her on Tuesday at the Loudoun Tea Party meeting.

Janine: surely you are aware that the entire body of VA legislators, to include Barbara Comstock, is back in Richmond starting today, to continue the budget and Medicaid expansion discussions. I wouldn’t expect any of the 10th district candidates who currently hold office to miss the legislative session to attend the Loudon Tea Party meeting, or they would not be performing the job expected of them for the office currently held.

Thanks for reminding me in such a nice way!

I smell a quid pro quo somewhere. That’s usually the explanation of political moves that make sense in no other way.

It only doesn’t make sense to those who are being willfully ignorant.

Right, it’s perfectly common to see fiscal responsibility Tea Party people align themselves with all-out corporatist lackeys.

Reply
Stephen Spiker April 7, 2014 at 5:02 pm

And you calling her an “all-out corporatist lackey” is a perfect example of the willful ignorance of which I speak.

Alexis Rose Bank April 7, 2014 at 5:32 pm

Feel free then to explain to us why she thinks Obama should have the prerogative to kill US citizens without charge or trial. Or alternatively, how she squares the Republican value of free markets with her persistent advocacy of handouts to favored corporations and industries.

Jax April 8, 2014 at 4:02 pm

Yawn. As predicted, the anti-Comstock “liberty faction” hysteria continues.

Somebody call a veterinarian and have this avatar checked for cat distemper.

Alexis Rose Bank April 8, 2014 at 6:36 pm

Do you even have room on your bumper to promote Comstock next to your “McAuliffe for Governor” and “Ready for Hillary!” stickers?
