Barbara Comstock Scheduled to Address RNC Convention

Comstock is slated to speak at 2 p.m. Tuesday in Tampa.

Tune into coverage of the Republican National Convention in Tampa on Tuesday afternoon and you're likely to see a local McLean face.

Del. Barbara Comstock (R-34th), who represents parts of McLean, Great Falls, Vienna and Herndon in the Virginia General Assembly, is scheduled to speak Tuesday at 2 p.m.

Comstock was originally scheduled to speak Monday afternoon, but Tropical Storm Isaac, currently cutting a path through Gulf of Mexico, forced convention organizers to re-schedule the time slot for several speakers.

Next week, when we nominate the next President and Vice-President of the United States, all Virginians and all Americans will hear from the team who will get the country back on the path to prosperity."
