Ready, set, run! //
Congressman Robert C. “Bobby” Scott, left, kicks off the political season in Virginia Monday with the 41st Annual Labor Day Cookout at his waterfront home in Newport News. Several hundred people eager to meet and mingle with candidates for various offices throughout the region turned out for the event that featured food, music and politics. Among the speakers were the three Democratic candidates at the top of the state ticket. They are, from left, Attorney General Mark Herring, who is seeking re-election; Lt. Gov. Ralph S. Northam, who is running for governor; and Justin Fairfax, who is running for lieutenant governor. Each fired up the crowd and urged people to turn out to vote on Tuesday, Nov. 7.
