(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
Proclaiming her "labor's candidate," Metro Washington Council
President Jos Williams presented Prince George's County Council candidate Andrea
Harrison with a check from the Metro Council on May 2. Harrison, the Democrat
nominee running to fill the seat vacated by David Harrington in the 5th
Councilmanic District, was endorsed by the Metro Council last month. "Andrea's a
longtime community activist who will bring her dedication to Prince George's
working families," said Williams, who urged "all union members in the 5th
District to vote in Tuesday's election." Although the district is heavily
Democratic, Williams warned that "low turnout is a sure way to lose this
importance voice for workers." The polls are open from 7A to 8PM.
