10th Congressional District Debate Scheduled

Congresswoman Barbara Comstock (R) will debate Democratic challenger LuAnn Bennett in a debate Oct. 6 in Loudoun County.

The two are battling to represent the 10th District, which includes McLean, in Congress.

The debate is part of the Loudoun County Chamber's 2016 "Policymaker Series." The Greater McLean Chamber of Commerce is partnering with the Loudoun County Chamber, the Northern Virginia Technology Council, the Greater Reston Chamber, the Dulles Regional Chamber and the Prince William County Chamber.

Facing a panel of Loudoun business leaders, the congressional candidates will answer questions about their positions on business, the economy and quality of life issues.

“We are delighted to join with other leading Northern Virginia business associations to present this potentially pivotal debate,” said Paul Kohlenberger, president of the Greater McLean Chamber of Commerce. Interest in the race is especially high in the Greater McLean area and its business community, he noted.

The debate will take place Thursday, Oct. 6 from 8-10 a.m., at the National Conference Center (18980 Upper Belmont Place, Lansdowne, Virginia 20176).
