Rep. Frank Wolf’s birthday party to launch reelection campaign

Rep. Frank Wolf (R-10th) will kick off his 2012 reelection campaign at his biennial “Birthday Party” celebration on Jan. 26 at the Washington Dulles Airport Hilton. Supporters are invited to bring a can of food to help feed the needy.

In fact at every Wolf-sponsored campaign event during 2012, the campaign will be collecting canned food and nonperishable item to help fill local food banks and pantries, according to a Wolf spokesman.

The kickoff event starts at 7 p.m. For tickets and reservations, contact the Wolf for Congress Committee at 703-817-9691.

Wolf, senior-most of Virginia’s 11 members of Congress, said he has been involved in nearly every major transportation initiative in northern Virginia over the last 30 years. Recently, he has been focusing attention on getting the nation’s fiscal house in order. A news release noted that Wolf also has worked to protect the region from violent gangs and to increase awareness about the risks of Lyme disease.
