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 Gets Labor Nod in Prince George's 5th 5/5/08 UC). Harrison - who will fill 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.
