Bill Randall, the candidate who ran against Wake Forest Mayor Vivian Jones was favored in the election held in Wake Forest today by nearly one in four voters.
Incumbent Jones secured 2,575 votes or 71 percent of votes, supported by her platform of homemade cakes and cookies for all. Wake Forest residents are easily persuaded with baked goods.
According to earlier research, Randall had maintained a perfect losing streak in his efforts to win any political office. His loss today continues his unbroken record. – Source
Randall, the Tea Party candidate in the non-partisan race for Mayor, was soundly trounced in the election by Mayor “Grandma” Jones. Of course his inability to spell the town name correctly on his campaign signs was an eventual glimpse of his successful failure to come.
According to the Raleigh News & Observer, “Randall didn’t publicly challenge any of Jones’ decisions during the campaign but said he wasn’t sure the town is as prepared as it could be for the future. He urged Wake Forest officials to take a closer look at whether the town’s taxes and zoning rules could be modified to attract more businesses.” – Source
As of this late hour the website for Randall’s run for Mayor is still up. For those wanting to take one last look, the clock is ticking. – Source
We will certainly miss Bill Randall and his entertaining run for office. If we are lucky he will run again in the future so we can cover that race.
We wish Bill Randall the best of luck in his future endeavors and hope the first thing he does as soon as the sun rises is to gather up all of his campaign signs where he spelled the town name wrong. Please!
I am still trying to figure out why 28% of the town wants to change it’s name or if they are just certifiably insane.
Well two out of ten dentists prefer sugared gum.
5 days later and the only signs that are still up across town are for Bill Randall ;/
We noticed the exact same thing and wondered if anyone had spotted any other signs up still. The one thing you can say about Randall as a local paper is it just keeps getting better and better to cover. New suggested title, “Randall Appears Not to Care About Wakeforest Residents After Losing.”
I posted on his Facebook page last night asking if they had any plans to take them down. Hopefully they don’t just leave them out.
Let us know if he responds.
My guess is Bill has got an early start on the next Mayoral race and believes it a fiscally conservative choice to leave the signs up until then.
