METRO COUNCIL HITS FENTY HARD IN MAILINGS AND CALLS
(8/31/2010) As DC’s mayoral  race enters the final stretch, the Metro Washington Council has prepared a hard-hitting series of mailings to union voters in the District, who will also receive automated calls from Council President Jos Williams. The full-color oversize postcards (see below) -- which will be mailed out over the next week -- blast Adrian Fenty for being “out of touch with our hard-working families” and making decisions “behind closed doors” and encourage support for labor-endorsed candidate Vince Gray in the September 14 primary. “We need a mayor who will stand with workers, not against us,” says one postcard, “It’s time for a change in city leadership, It’s time for Vince Gray for Mayor,” says another. “We’re going to make sure that every one of the 30,000 union voters in the District of Columbia knows just how bad Fenty has been for DC’s working families, and that Vince Gray will be there for us as mayor,” said Metro Council President Jos Williams.
