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,
