Arthur Dracula, an admitted Vampire was elected Mayor of Roseville in last Friday's closely fought election.

Dracula was something of a dark‑horse candidate who rarely appeared during the campaign except at occasional late‑night events. "I don’t really like being out in the sun," Dracula said during an interview at his home late Friday night, "it makes my skin itch and burn. I guess you could call it kind of an allergy."

Dracula ran on a platform of lower taxes and more late‑night activities for teenagers. It is thought that his surprise win in the election was largely do to the last‑minute revelation that his opponent was a ruthless serial killer who is wanted in 14 states.
