Labor GOTV Seen as Critical in Today's DC Vote

With voter turnout expected to be very low in today’s DC City Council Special Elections, labor turnout “may well be the winning margin,” says Metro Council Political Coordinator Rick Powell. Union activists are covering 5 critical precincts in Ward 4 where labor-endorsed candidate Muriel Bowser is running to fill the seat vacated by DC Mayor Adrian Fenty. Volunteers are needed from 7:30-10A, 11A-1P and 4-8P. Call Powell at 202-744-2885 to get plugged in.
