Labor-To-Labor Walks Continue Saturday
Friday, August 27, 2010(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
Labor-to-labor walks continue this
Saturday to help elect labor-endorsed candidates in Wards 4, 5 and
At-Large in the District's September 14 Primary. "With only three weeks until
Election Day, dozens of volunteers are expected to turn out to door knock in
support of Phil Mendelson, Harry "Tommy" Thomas Jr., Vince Gray and Eleanor
Holmes Norton," says Metro Washington Council, AFL-CIO Assistant Political
Coordinator Alya Solomon. "All are welcome to join us! Also, we will be
educating residents about the confusion over Michael Brown's name on the
ballot," adds Solomon. "Michael D. Brown is a shadow US Senator running for DC
City Council At-Large against the three-term incumbent and pro-labor candidate
Phil Mendelson, whereas Michael A. Brown - son of the late Commerce Secretary
Ron Brown - currently sits on the DC City Council as an At-Large member and is
not up for re-election. This poses a problem if the electorate does not know who
they are voting for." Click
