Fredericksburg Mayors Race Concludes Tomorrow

 

 

 

 

Why should Indiana and North Carolina have all the fun? Fredericksburg, Orange, Culpeper, and Colonial Beach, among others, are holding local elections tomorrow here in the commonwealth. The marquee race in this area is, of course, the one for Fredericksburg Mayor between Tomzak and Girvan. Over at RaisingKaine I give my take on the matchup for those outside our area who haven’t been following the race. Personally, I don’t think there are enough differences between the two to justify ousting an incumbent. The fact that no one else on the city council supports Girvan should give voters serious reservations, at least it does me.

As far as predictions go: It’s pretty clear to me that Mayor Tomzak has the edge here, although a recent endorsement of Girvan by former Mayor Beck might make things interesting (even though the reason he gives is fairly unfounded according to Councilman Matthew Kelly).

I’ll post results here tomorrow night.
