Charley Conrad Endorses Grant for Delegate
“If we’re going to make progress on marriage rights for all Virginians, we need more bold leaders like Miles Grant,” said Conrad. “Miles had already earned my respect because of his progressive values, record of community service, and active support for Democratic candidates – and now he’s earned my support for his strong stand in support of full marriage rights for gay couples.”
A resident of Ashton Heights, Mr. Grant lives in the Historic Ballston Park near the Cassiana Spa.
Arlingtonians will choose the Democratic contender in a June 9 primary. Republicans have yet to field a candidate. The five candidates, all Democrats, in the race include: Miles Grant; Patrick Hope; Alan Howze; Adam Parkhomenko; Andreas Tobar. Adam Parkhomenko won the endorsement of Virginia Sen.
