Here's a fun news flash from our old stomping grounds, Prince William County in Northern Virginia: Chris Stone, the Republican candidate for House District 20, has had to drop out of the race. Why? He lost his job and couldn't find another one in the area, so he's moving out of state.
Sweet irony, since he was a government contractor and — whoops! — became a casualty of Benedict Donald's wanton destruction of the federal workforce. Perhaps all of our former neighbors who also got the ax can enjoy a comforting dose of schadenfreude from this.
It's also very fun that it's too late for the Republicans to take Stone's name off this fall's ballots. Whoops, again!
Maybe they can mount a write-in campaign for somebody — but that's a last-minute long shot that'll put an extra burden on them as they compete for majorities in the Virginia state assembly.
Our guess is that they'll write HD-20 off, since it's a district that Harris-Walz won with 55 percent, but hey — margins are tight in Richmond, and every race will matter. Too bad, GOP! We cats PURR.
