A couple of City Council appointees are sticking out in the sparse crowd at mayoral candidate Delegate Dwight Jones’ party at the Paradise Lounge. Joining in the celebration are Jim Hestor, the city assessor, and Umesh Dalal, city auditor.

Also spotted: City Councilman Bruce Tyler (uncontested tonight), Delegate Joe Morrissey, J.J. Minor, vice president of the City Democrats (and son of City Councilwoman Delores McQuinn) and Henrico County School Board member Lamont Bagby. Also, we see Tom Shields, of the University of Richmond’s Jepson School of Leadership Studies. And former commonwealth’s attorney David Hicks, in a black leather jacket.
