Wolf in 10th
This newspaper endorsed Republican incumbent Frank Wolf in his first race against Democratic challenger Judy Feder and we see no reason to change course this time around.
Wolf, now in his 29th year representing the 10th District, is a hard-working, straight-shooting legislator who has consistently delivered federal money for two of the region's most pressing needs -- transportation and public safety. Over the years, nobody has done more to bring rail to the Dulles corridor, take cars off I-66 or curtail the rise of gang violence across the region.
Wolf also deserves praise for his tireless commitment to human rights across the globe, as well as his call for a national commission to study the nation's fiscal and budgetary health long before the economy blew up last month.
Feder, Georgetown University's public policy dean and a nationally respected health-care expert, has spent more time ripping into Wolf's record than building a case for herself.
It's also worth noting that the departure of Tom Davis in the 11th District will likely impact Northern Virginia's ability to secure federal dollars.
Given that, we wouldn't be doing our roads, schools or policemen any favors by voting a well-connected incumbent like Frank Wolf out of office next month.
