Allen Headed to Manassas Today

MANASSAS, Va. — George Allen will make a campaign stop Monday at a Manassas defense contractor.

Allen is scheduled to appear at Asset, Inc. on Asset Court near the FBI campus on Prince William Parkway at 2:30 p.m.

Allen is expected to address sequestration, and the potential loss of $1.2 military and other spending over the next 10 years. If implemented, the cuts would begin Jan. 2.

Allen is running against former Democrat Virginia Gov. Timothy Kaine to replace current U.S. Senator Jim Webb.

This is the second stop for Allen in Manassas in as many days. He appeared with presumptive Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney during a campaign rally at Harris Pavilion in Old Town Manassas on Saturday.
