ome January, Frank Wolf will not be representing Virginia’s 10th Congressional District for the first time in more than three decades. But one of his former aides will be. Del. Barbara Comstock won a decisive victory over Fairfax County Supervisor John Foust on Tuesday night. The Republican took 56.7 percent of the vote to the Democrat’s 40.2 percent, according to unofficial results. “I guess I’m finally going to have a real job,” Comstock said to a roaring crowd of supporters at a victory

party in Ashburn. She was acknowledging a gaffe Foust made that might have scuttled any hopes Democrats had to win the district seat for the first time since 1978. During a campaign stop in Leesburg, Foust said he didn’t think Comstock had ever had a real job, referring to her career in politics, a slip-up that was repeated on Comstock’s campaign ads and mailers. After she was introduced by her daughter as the “first woman to represent the 10th District” Tuesday night, Comstock thanked supporters packed into a conference room at the Hilton Garden Inn for their help on the campaign trail. “I am so proud of the campaign that we ran

Gillespie. At 11:15 p.m., with 98.51 percent of precincts reporting, Warner had 49.02 percent of the vote to Gillespie’s 48.51 percent—or an almost 20,000 vote statewide lead, with more than 2 million ballots cast. In Loudoun, Gillespie edged out Warner 45,483 votes to 45,027. The Republican won the majority of votes only in the Ashburn and Blue Ridge districts, while Warner won in Algonkian, Broad Run, Catoctin, Dulles, Leesburg and Sterling districts. Warner spoke about 11:40 p.m. Tuesday, declaring victory in what he called “a hard-fought” race. Brian W. Schoeneman, an election official in Fairfax County, posted on Twitter that officials there would begin a canvas Wednesday morning, with about 550 provisional ballots still uncounted. Election officials said the race was still too close to call late Tuesday. Both candidates campaigned hard going into Election Day. Gillespie spent part of the morning greeting voters outside C.D. Hylton High School in Dale City and sharing jests and political news with Del. L. Scott Lingamfelter (R-31) and Prince William Board of County Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart (R-At Large). “We’ve got a ton of momentum in the home stretch and I can feel it everywhere I go,” Gillespie said. “Virginia breaks late historically, it’s breaking late this year and it’s breaking my way.” The Republican noted he began the race trailing Warner by 29 points in the polls, but a poll last week put that deficit at just 4 percent. “I think we overtook him this weekend and
