Costello
for fiscal 1984.
Costello said he is aligned with conservative Democrats such as Gov. Charles S. Robb and Del. Alson H. Smith Jr. of Winchester, a longtime friend and political ally, who is helping coordinate Costello’s first bid for elected office.
His candidacy represents an attempt to take an “extrapolation of responsible state government (in Virginia) to the national level,” Costello said.
“My opponent’s campaign is carefully patterned to portray me as a wide-eyed liberal,” he said. “That is patently untrue. My opponent knows it. His campaign workers know it.”
Slaughter has been quoted as saying that, unlike the Democratic nominee, he would have “no obligation to any liberal political leader in Washington.”
Slaughter told a Charlottesville crowd he would “be voting against (House Speaker) Tip O’Neill (DMass.)” the first chance he got—on selection of a speaker, if elected.
Costello said he would have no obligation to vote with fellow party members and that his constituency in the conservative 7th District would determine his votes in the House. “I’ll apply the same standard to the speaker of the House as to the president of the United States,” he said.
