RICHMOND -- A week after a federal judge struck down a state law that Richmond police had used in previous campaigns to remove political signs, Rod Driver, the candidate who filed the federal lawsuit, returned yesterday afternoon to the very spot that led to the federal lawsuit: A private lot just across the street from the entrance to the Washington County Fair. "I put one up, but I didn't realize the competition had dwarfed mine," the Democrat, who is now running for state representative, said pointing to one of his challengers' signs, right next to his. "We'll try to keep up. Fortunately, I had a big one." Driver is running in District 39, which serves Richmond and parts of Exeter and Charlestown. Also running for Rep. Joseph H. Scott's seat, are Democrats Stephen D. Antoni, Paul E. Picerne and Larry Valencia and Republicans Joseph R. Arsenault and David B. Hathaway. Scott is not running for reelection. -- Journal staff writer Maria Armental
