In comparison to Sam's post regarding Vanessa, I encourage progressive Dems to support Byron Davis for State Representative (www.DavisForStateRep.com)

As a candidate, Byron is running under the theme of "make a change to make a difference." He is a teacher, father, and community activist. He is 100% rated by Planned Parenthood (unlike his opponent) and has been endorsed by UNITE HERE!, Philly for Change, AFSCME District Council 47, and others are on the way. He will bring Service, Responsibility, and Opportunity to the constituents of the 198th District. Byron believes that jobs are the key to unlocking the door to prosperity for the residents of this District. Working with labor unions, he is developing job training programs to enable constituents to prepare for Philly's growing tourism and hospitality industry and the nascent green collar economy.
