WASHINGTON — In the fight for the votes of suburban women there is no more representative place than Loudoun County, in the swing state of Virginia, which Hillary Clinton will visit Monday.

Affluent suburban women are a key audience for Clinton as the Democratic front-runner seeks to use Donald Trump’s polarizing statements about women, immigrants, and others against him.

Clinton will hold a discussion about jobs, schools, and other concerns in a bellwether county that narrowly supported President Obama’s reelection in 2012 and helped elect a Republican critic of Obama, Representative Barbara Comstock, to Congress two years later.

Comstock has disavowed Trump but isn’t backing Clinton. Clinton is hoping that women who think much as Comstock does about national security, the role of government, and women’s equality will make that leap, however, and help her win Virginia.

Loudoun County is ‘‘ground zero’’ for Virginia and perhaps for the nation in the general election, said Dan Scandling, a Republican strategist.

‘‘You have upwardly mobile, younger professional women,’’ who moved to Loudoun County for good schools and more affordable housing than in the closer-in suburbs that are more reliably Democratic, Scandling said.

Although many suburban women identify as Republican or independent, they often vote on the kinds of pocketbook issues Clinton is emphasizing in her presidential bid — workplace flexibility and fair pay for female workers, accessible health care, affordable college tuition. These voters have long displayed a willingness to look past ideological lines.
