In a record-breaking $8.1 million referendum campaign, the Richmond casino project is using its funds to hire some of the biggest national, and international, campaign strategist and political analyst firms, campaign expenditures show.
If approved this November, casino officials, in partnership with the Richmond Area Building and Construction Trades Council, announced that the proposed $562 million project will only be built by folks in local union trades.
Chantel Brown and Nelson Daniels are just two out of the roughly 75 people out every day going door-to-door all across the city campaigning for the casino project. It is a key component of the project’s voter-to-voter contact strategy.
