Richmond Letter Carriers Delcare Dwight Jones the “Working Man’s Mayor”

Tuesday, September 23, 2008
Delegate Dwight Jones announced today the endorsement of the local Richmond branch of the National Association of Letter Carriers. The NALC represents several hundred postal workers throughout Richmond.

“These are the types of citizens I want to work for in City Hall. The letter carriers are hard working men and women who are dedicated to their jobs and deserve a mayor who will work for them,” Jones said.

"The letter carriers are your neighborhood postmen. They are the people you see everyday walking down your street, and up the front steps of your home delivering your mail. They are a part of every community in Richmond and I am so pleased to have their support.”

The Letter Carriers decided to endorse Delegate Jones because they felt he was the only candidate in the race that will look out for the needs of working people in Richmond. In their endorsement process, they took into account his work in the General Assembly and his commitment to community.

“Delegate Jones has been a friend of working people in the General Assembly and he will be the working man’s Mayor,” Ronald Hinton, President of the local branch of the NALC said. “We are proud to stand with him in his race for Mayor and will work as hard as we can to get him elected.”
