MANASSAS — Democrats will rally in Prince William County during the final hours of the 2018 mid-term elections campaign.
Senator Tim Kaine will be joined by fellow Democrats Vangie Williams and Jennifer Wexton, who is running for Congress in the 1st and 10th Districts, respectively.
Williams and Wexton face Republican incumbents Rob Wittman and Barbara Comstock, respectively.
All 435 seats in the House of Representatives are open this election. Democrats are favored to win control of the House from Republicans.
While Kaine is favored in Virginia to beat his Republican opponent, Prince William County Board of Supervisor Chairman, At-large Corey Stewart, Republicans are expected to retain control of the Senate.
Kaine is calling out additional names Sunday night in his effort rally the vote:
- Rep. Gerry Connolly (Va. 11 — Fairfax, Prince William)
- Rep. Bobby Scott (Va. 3 — Hampton Roads)
- Rep. Don Beyer (Va. 8 — Arlington, Falls Church)
- Attorney General Mark Herring
- Former Gov. Terry McAuliffe
The rally starts Sunday, Nov. 4, 2018, at 7 p.m. at the fairgrounds, located at 10624 Dumfries Road in Manassas. The rally will be Kaine’s final stop in a day-long tour of cities along the urban crescent, from Hampton Roads, Richmond, to Northern Virginia.
His opponent Corey Stewart will also spend the final hour of the campaign. On Monday, Stewart will hold his “Jobs not Mobs” rally at the Farm Brewery located at 16015 John Marshall Highway in Haymarket, following appearances in Virginia Beach and Mechanicsville.
Back at the Prince William County, Fairgrounds, the land is no stranger to political rallies. President Barack Obama rallied there on the eve of the 2008 Presidential Election. In December 2015, President Donald Trump held a rally inside the Commercial Building at the fairgrounds.
Officials with the Prince William County Fair say next year’s fair in August could be its last. After 70 years, the shareholders of the fairgrounds are looking to cash out and sell the land to a developer for a possible residential development.
