Dear Mr. Tobar,
Thank you very much for coming to address the members of the AFGE National Capital Area Council 1 tonight. As you know, Council 1 represents tens of thousands of Metropolitan Washington, DC area Federal and DC Government employees. These employees live in Northern Virginia, the District of Columbia, and Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties in Maryland.
Based upon your background as a former Federal employee at the US Department of Education, where you were represented by and a member of AFGE Local 2607, and your record in advocating for the community, it Council 1’s pleasure to endorse your candidacy tonight for the Virginia House of Delegates in the 47th District. Council 1 believes that your history of support for working families and the issues that matter most to them make you the best choice in the June 9th Democratic Primary Election.
Council 1 will urge AFGE members to support your campaign and ask that all of our members living within the 47th District vote for you on June 9th. We believe that solidarity with our sisters and brothers requires more than just talk, and we encourage the active participation of our members to support your election. We wish you much success in the future.
Sincerely and respectfully,
Thomas Owen Murphy
