Station for sale No longer in use, Goochland’s former Company 6 fire house still waiting for the right buyer By Roslyn Ryan Editor

Candidates have sights set on Brat’s seat
elen Alli, who is vying for the chance to challenge Dave Brat, R-7th, in the next election, joined fellow Democratic candidates Abigail Spanberger and Dan Ward for a candidates forum at the Goochland Recreation Center last Thursday. The forum, cosponsored by the Goochland County Democratic Committee and the Powhatan County Democratic Committee, allowed the candidates to share their views on everything from campaign finance, to health care, to climate change. One particularly memorable moment: the candidates were asked if they were willing to “get in Dave Brat’s grill,” a reference to a comment Brat made last year about being harassed by his female constituents. Each insisted they would be happy to do so. To see what the candidates said about bringing high speed Internet to underserved areas of the county, see page 3.
