As Election Day nears, there is at least one candidate in Goochland who isn’t feeling much anxiety about the outcome. If pressed, he might also admit that he has done no fundraising, appeared in no campaign ads, and, unless you count shooting the breeze down at his local post office as a stump speech, he has made no TRICE official appearances. Even when people laugh and call his campaign a joke, Stu Trice just laughs right along with them. Because technically, well — it is. As the only candidate in the race for mayor of Hadensville, a position that doesn’t actually exist, Trice fully expects to be elected in a landslide next week.
Through Nov. 11, 2019. See store for details.
