WOODBRIDGE, Va. — On Sunday, members of the Prince William County Young Democrats rallied on Marblestone Drive in Woodbridge, across from the Prince William County Government Center, to rouse support for local Democratic candidates and speak about the important issues in the upcoming election cycle.
Kristen Cabral, a congressional candidate, Chairman of the Prince William County Democrats Harry Wiggins, and congressional candidate Adam Cook, all spoke about the issues and challenges in the coming months leading up to Election Day.
Cabral will face incumbent Frank Wolf, R-10, and Cook incumbent Rob Wittman, R-1.
Cabral shared her experiences as a working class child, exulting the importance of continued affordable financial aid, talking about how she had to hold down many odd jobs and take out student loans to put herself through the University of Michigan and Harvard Law School.
Cook, an Air Force veteran, also shared his experiences of being raised as one of six children, putting himself through school and how he hopes to make a big difference in congress, using his humble roots as inspiration.
Wiggins also spoke on the importance of all Democratic supporters volunteering their time for the different races throughout the state, including the unexpected Prince William County School Board race in the Occoquan District, which will take place this Fall.
At the conclusion of the rally, the group attended a Potomac Nationals game in their campaign gear, making a strong presence at the game to provide exposure for the Democratic candidates. There was also a non-partisan voter registration drive at the game, to allow citizens to register to vote and update voting address information
