NoVA GOTV Labor Effort Continues to Build
Tuesday, October 23, 2012
(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)The labor effort to get out the vote in Northern Virginia continued to build as
nearly 200 union members participated in last Saturday’s Labor to Labor
precinct walks. Labor-endorsed US Senate candidate Tim Kaine, along with AFGE
President J. David Cox, rallied the group before they hit the streets. Among the
volunteers was an enthusiastic busload from the Maryland AFL-CIO, and the
Boilermakers brought its touring RV for more support. “Door-knockers said they
received strong words of support for Obama and Kaine,” reports NoVA president
Dan Duncan. Precinct walks and phone banking continue daily out of the NoVA
Labor office (4536-B John Marr Drive, Annandale 22003) through Election Day.
