Harrison Wins Big in Prince George's Special
Election: Labor-endorsed candidate Andrea Harrison won an
overwhelming victory in Tuesday's Prince George's County Council special
election. “The labor community is happy to have her on the County Council and
we look forward to working with her on a working family agenda,” says Metro
Council President Jos Williams. Harrison received the Metro Labor Council's
endorsement last month (Harrison

the 5th District Council seat vacated by David Harrington - "captured more than
86 percent of the vote," reported Rosalind Helderman in Wednesday's
Washington Post.
