Mark Tate - (R)

Congressman Wolf has represented Virginia's 10th District since 1981. Congressman Wolf was born in 1939 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he attended public schools. He received his B.A. degree from Penn State University in 1961 and his law degree from Georgetown University in 1965. Prior to his election to Congress, he was employed on a congressional staff, at the Department of the Interior, and as an attorney. He lives in Vienna with his wife, Carolyn. They are the parents of five grown children. Congressman Wolf is the chairman of the Science-State-Justice-Commerce Appropriations subcommittee. This subcommittee has jurisdiction over the Commerce Department, the State Department and the Justice Department, including the FBI, DEA and U.S. Marshals Service.

From 1995-2000, Congressman Wolf was the chairman of the Transportation Appropriations subcommittee. He remains a senior member of that subcommittee in addition to serving on the Homeland Security Appropriations subcommittee. He also is the co-chairman of the Congressional Human Rights Caucus and serves on the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, also known as the Helsinki Commission.

Congressman Wolf has worked tirelessly to improve our region's transportation system since being elected. He worked to obtain full funding for the 103-mile Metrorail system and is leading the way in bringing mass transit to Tysons Corner and out the Dulles corridor to Loudoun County. He fought to reduce car pool restrictions on I-66 inside the Beltway and pushed to widen I-66 outside the Beltway. He is now pushing to add an extra lane on westbound I-66 inside the Beltway. To improve safety on the George Washington Parkway, he pushed to add an additional lane from Spout Run to the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge. He pushed the District of Columbia for the rush hour reversible lane on the Roosevelt Bridge. He is a vocal advocate for telecommuting in both the private sector and the federal government. Congressman Wolf is committed to working to ease congestion on our highways so you can spend less time sitting in traffic and more time with your friends or family.

Congressman Wolf has also been instrumental in helping to protect our historic battlefields and helped preserve the areas open spaces with protected sites such as Ovoka Farm.

And Congressman Wolf has taken up our cause to help fight Dominion Power's efforts to force huge electric transmission lines through our countryside. Dominion Power has proposed plans to use the power of eminent domain to condemn large swaths of land to build power lines to sell power to the markets out of the state. Congressman Wolf has begun to help lead the fight to stop this project that would ruin the historic battlefields and pristine open spaces and devalue homes across the county.

Congressman Wolf has worked hard to bring real transportation solutions to Northern Virginia, he has worked hard to protect the counties historic heritage and beautiful open spaces. Congressman Wolf also brings tremendous influence and respect to the district that benefits us all through road improvement and better educational opportunities to the district. He is being challenged by a candidate that knows little about the district and its needs. Almost all of his opponents support comes from contributions from out of the state.

The decision in the election seems very easy to me. Congressman Wolf has extensive experience, knows the district well and delivers what the district needs. Wolf has tremendous respect and credibility from his colleagues and constituents. He deserves to be re-elected and we need Congressman Wolf. Please vote to re-elect Congressman Wolf on November 7th.

"If you want to change Washington, change the people you send there." That is the message at the heart of Judy Feder's strong and thoughtful campaign to unseat faltering Virginia 10th District Congressman Frank Wolf. Dr. Feder teaches at one of the world's great universities and runs its Public Policy Institute. She's a world-class expert on healthcare. Soldiers, diplomats, policy-makers and the people who really do the work, turn to her for advice and counsel on planning, priorities, and leadership. She can write, and people who count read her publications. She's married to an intelligence analyst with more than twenty years service in the CIA. She's lived here for more than 30 years. She has two sons.

Feder on Leadership

"In politics, leaders are measured by their impact on the real world. Talk is easy. Results are hard. Name the issue, and then ask yourself, 'What has Wolf accomplished after nearly 26 years of talk.' Happy with traffic, roads, growth and development? Is FEMA's approach to Katrina your idea of national security? Gas prices? The war in Iraq? Immigration? War profiteers? On corruption, Wolf talks a good game, but even after 26 years, look around. I don't know which is worse: no ideas, bad ideas, or, worst of all, good ideas coupled with a singular inability to convince anyone else of their value.

Feder on Ethics

"Despite the Abramoff scandals and now, jail sentences for corruption, Frank voted against a measure calling on members of Congress to, at the very least, put their names on their earmarks -- requests to set aside money for special projects without going through the normal appropriations process. We asked Wolf to make his own list of earmarks public. He declined, apparently fearing he'd be tagged for doing too many favors... or not enough... or doing them for the wrong people... or for the wrong reasons. It's time for a change.

Feder on Growth

The federal government, the economic engine for the entire region, has ignored what has become, on Frank's watch, a transportation and development crisis. Negligence and lack of concern... has let the downsides of development fall squarely on our communities. We need to encourage smart growth by integrating land use planning and transportation planning, reducing the distance people must commute to work and expanding access to public transportation.

Feder on Energy Policy and Gas Prices

Energy Policy begins with having one! We should end billions of dollars in giveaways to oil companies, impose a windfall profits tax and invest the proceeds from profiteering oil companies to bring fuel efficient products and alternative fuels to the marketplace.

Feder on The War in Iraq

"I opposed the war in Iraq from day one. It was clear that President Bush was sending our troops into battle without the resources to do their jobs and without a plan to bring them home safely. We should hold the President accountable for his failed leadership. Exit strategy? Work with the international community instead of alienating it, and put together a broad-based coalition of military and foreign policy experts to stabilize the region and bring our troops home safely."
