CWAers Stand Out at Rally for Virginia's Creigh Deeds

CWAers turn out to support Creigh Deeds for governor of Virginia.

Lots of CWAers in red and President Obama joined a rally in Virginia to support Creigh Deeds for governor.

CWA members stood out in the crowd in red shirts proclaiming "CWA for Creigh Deeds," said Local 2201 Executive Vice President Richard Hatch.

CWA's involvement also made an impression on Democratic candidates for Virginia's House of Delegates who were working their way through the crowd, Hatch said. "Our members took this time to push our issues and make sure that these politicians knew that CWA was heavily involved," Hatch said.

CWAers from Locals 2201, 2204, 2205, 2222 and 2277 were on hand.

Deeds is a former state delegate and state senator who supports working family issues. CWA locals in Virginia are working hard to support Deeds and other pro-worker candidates.
