Source: MIT Election Data and Science Lab, U.S. House V15 / U.S. Senate V8 (CC0), retrieved 2026-10-18; winners matched to member records by seat and term. Results run through the 2024 elections; nothing from 2026 is shown until it is certified. A margin is a fact about one election, never a score of how well a member represents anyone, and PORKER does not rank members by it.
How has Virginia’s 10th district done while Rep. Comstock served?
2015 to 2018 in VA-10: typical household income was up 5% after inflation, the share of people below the poverty line was down 1.1 points, and the share of workers looking for a job was about the same.
Each mini chart has its own scale, fitted to its lines (it does not start at zero), so compare the numbers, not the heights. Teal = district, oxblood = state, grey = U.S.
While they served, not because of them. This shows what happened in Virginia’s 10th district during Comstock’s time representing it (2015 to 2019). It does not say what the member did or caused. It is not a score, and PORKER never ranks members on it.
One set of district lines. VA-10 was redrawn in 2012 and again in 2022 (the survey year the new lines first appear), but every survey year in Comstock’s term so far (2015 to 2018) uses the same lines, so they can be compared. The Census Bureau has no 2020 yearly estimate.

Read this first. These are counts of records Congress.gov lists. Many bills never get a CBO estimate or a report, so a zero is not a mark against a member. We never show this as a score.
