Buena Vista's Labor Day Parade and Festival kicks off Virginia's election season
BUENA VISTA, Va. – Monday marked the unofficial start of election season in Virginia with the 52nd annual Labor Day Fest in Buena Vista.
Candidates vying for the state senate and the House of Delegates took part in the tradition, while also taking a stance on issues that matter to them.
“It’s always a great time to get everyone out, rallying for their candidates on both sides. And you have a chance to do what we are going to do here in the pavilion, square off against each other,” said Republican Delegate Chris Head.
Delage Head is running for Virginia’s newly formed third district in the state senate. He’s facing democratic Glasgow native, Jade Harris.
10 News asked Harris what issues she cares about most.
“Top of the list, it’s Labor Day, labor. I am the only AFL-CIO candidate endorsed in my race and that means a lot to me,” said Harris.
“Second of all, infrastructure. That’s another major one for me. I-81 is a disaster. Third of all, education.”
