Hampton had about 1500 votes and Poquoson had about 1500 votes.
One would presume that bodes well for Stuart in Hampton and Helsel in Poquoson. With Helsel getting about 1/3 of the votes in York…is he the new favorite?
Numbers from Hampton:
220 Helsel
136 Green
517 Stuart
665 Schmidt
Soooo…that over 440 for Helsel, 700 for Green, 520 for Stuart, and 665 Schmidt.
Waiting on Poquoson.
Poquoson numbers:
1293 Helsel
145 Green
94 Stuart
46 Schmidt
Helsel wins with over 1700 votes, over 800 for Green, and 700 apiece for Schmidt and Stuart.
Congratulations to the Republican nominee, Gordon Helsel!
Congrats to Gordon! He will make a fine legislator!
GOD, I’M GLAD THAT’S OVER!
Does that mean Stuart is going to move back to Chesapeake Ave or stay on Chesapeake Ave?
Wow! Looks like “the architect of Scott Rigell’s 11 point victory” had a building collapse on him here.
Last place?
Jason Miyares, Chris Stuart and Tidewater Campaign Services should be embarassed.
Way to spend 2 times as much as the other candidates to wind up in last place. Bravo.
Why don’t you buy a house in the mountains and stop bothering everybody for a while.
And BS he Stuart and Miyares didn’t know about the hit pieces on Helsel and Green(e.g.- the guys who got first and second)
The story is legally far from over for them and Kyle P Adams for what they put out.
Deception. Lies. Arrogance. Last place. Great work.
Congratulations to Gordon Helsel!
I haven’t heard Stuart actually deny any knowledge of the FFCN PAC flyers, but it wouldn’t surprise me if he disavowed any knowledge. One lie certainly leads to another. It was noteworthy that Kyle Adams was everywhere to be seen at the polls during the last two elections but was nowhere to be seen yesterday. I wonder if he even voted. He was missed.
At least by Chris Stuart.
Last week, at the Tuscany forum, when a voter asked him where he had spent the last three nights (thus, raising the valid issue of his full compliance with Virginia voting rules by actually LIVING in his two-week old newly claimed residence), Stuart mumbled some nonsense about how his kids had been sick and with so much going on, he couldn’t “actually recall where [he had] been the last coupla nights.” How stupid does he think people are? One thing is for sure — with his head buried so far in the sand, he certainly got a hard message delivered to the only orifice that was exposed.
Maybe nice guys don’t finish last after all.
I don’t think he understands how much damage he did to himself in this run, but it’s a safe bet he unwisely spent money on URLs for Mayor, Delegate, and Congress. He’ll be lucky to hang on to his City Council seat if he doesn’t develop some integrity. The sad part is that he is a smart and capable guy — but there are already enough empty suits in Richmond and in DC — we don’t need any more of the sleaze on either side of the aisle.
As another point, I really think the “big boys” ought to stay out of the races until the primary is over. There is so much nepotism and cronyism already. Most voters have come to the realization that, in the absence of term limits, the ballot is the best way to oust self-serving, lobby-beholden representatives.
The Rigell endorsement was inappropriate, especially since Rigell, who did well across other parts of the district in his own primary, got smoked like a Smithfield ham over here in Hampton by General Mizusawa (Mizusawa got 61% of the Hampton vote and won every precinct).
I was surprised that as busy as he is with the new session, he took time out to tape a robocall for all of us. Jason M. — that was actually a bad move and your advice should be thought out a bit more carefully. You are smarter than that — at least I think you are based on what I’ve heard.
Perhaps Congressman Rigell’s time would be better spent pulling down his “Rigell” signs which are still over here in yards more than 2 months after the election . . .
While he’s pulling them down, he can take down some of Stuart’s as well.
I think there is an ordinance about that stuff.
Even if there isn’t, they’re unwelcome eyesores.
Elephant,
I agree with you completely on everythng.
Only comment- Jason doesn’t know better. Rigell was a sure thing when you are willing to dump over 4 million personally into a Congressional race.
