Control of VA State Senate at Stake in Tuesday's Election
Friday, January 17, 2014
(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)Labor-to-labor walkers tomorrow will enjoy
much better weather
than last Saturday’s crew, which “braved chilly temperatures and constant
rain
to knock on labor doors in Virginia's 33rd District for endorsed candidate
Jennifer Wexton (right),”
reports NoVA president Dan Duncan. Weather forecasts are for clear skies and
40-degree temperatures for the door-knocking, which
begins at 9a at the IAM
Lodge 1759 hall. “Considering the election in VA's Eastern Shore stands at a
difference of seven votes before the recount, we want to make sure the margin
in this election will be high enough not to require a recount,” adds NoVa’s
Dolores Trevino Gerber. “We can get a large enough margin by getting our
labor
folks and their family, friends and neighbors out to vote in next Tuesday’s
election, which will determine the control of the State Senate of Virginia for
the next two years!” A phone bank is also set for Monday,
January 20, 5p at NoVA’s Annandale office. photo: Dolores Trevino Gerber, John Rayner & Kendall
