RICHMOND, VA — Now that Sen. Dave Marsden (D-Burke) has submitted his casino-related bill in the Virginia General Assembly and a property in Tysons has been identified as the casino’s likely location, Senate Bill 675 will begin its journey this week through the legislative process.
The bill’s first stop is in the Senate General Laws and Technology Committee’s sub-committee on gaming. Of the committee’s 15 members, Virginia State Board of Elections campaign finance reports show seven have received donations from Comstock Holding Companies, the Reston Station-based developer hoping to build the casino since the beginning of last year.
In September 2023, Patch first reported that Comstock wanted to build a casino somewhere Metro’s Silver Line outside the Capital Beltway in Fairfax County. Since January 2023, the company has donated more than $637,000 to the political action committees of candidates running in the 2023 election cycle and legislators serving in the 2024 general assembly session, according to the Virginia State Board of Elections campaign finance reports.
The donations to the general laws and technology committee came from Comstock CEO Christopher Clemente and the company’s political action committee, Building a Remarkable Virginia.

Another committee member received a donation from the Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce PAC (NOVABIZPAC). The $1,000 payment was authorized by Nick Clemente, the son of Comstock’s CEO. The donation was made on May 23, 2023, when the younger Clemente was acting as the chamber’s representative in Richmond.

TOTAL: $51,000
The same 15 lawmakers sit on the Gaming Sub-Committee, which is scheduled to review 12 bills, including SB 675, on Tuesday, according to the general assembly’s website:
Senate Sub-Committee On Gaming (1/24/2024)
Patch acknowledges that Comstock, its employees, family members and others have a right to make donations to any candidate whose campaign they wish to support. The same goes for the Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce.
Patch is reporting this publicly available information; it is not saying that Comstock, its employees, family members and others, including the chamber, did anything illegal.
