Labor-To-Labor Walks Continue Saturday

(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 here for details on Saturday's walk, including times and location.
