NoVA Labor Gears Up for Special Election This Month
Monday, January 6, 2014
(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)“It wouldn’t be Virginia if we didn’t
have a special election,” reports NoVA
Labor president Dan Duncan. The Virginia AFL-CIO has endorsed Jennifer Wexton
(right) in the race to fill
Attorney General-elect Mark Herring’s Senate District 33 seat. The election
will be held on Tuesday, January 21. The district covers parts of Fairfax and
Loudoun Counties, and NoVA Labor will be conducting Labor-to-Labor precinct
walks on Saturday, January 11, and Saturday, January 18, from Machinists Lodge
1759 at 1037 Sterling Road, Herndon 20170 (NOT the NoVA Labor office). “We
need
to keep this state senate seat with a labor-friendly person!” says Duncan.
Doors will open at 9 am “and we’ll have the usual coffee, juice, donuts and
bagels,” he promises. There will also be phone banking on Tuesday, January
14,
and Monday, January 20, from the NoVA Labor office at 4563-B John Marr Drive,
Annandale 22003. For more information on the Virginia GOTV efforts, contact
