Voters lined up for mini containers of Cold Stone Creamery ice cream at a makeshift counter inside Doug Ducey’s campaign headquarters.
They weren’t offered the mix-ins that made the company’s ubiquitous franchises famous. But with flavors like “Cake Batter Batter Batter” and “Dark Chocolate Devotion,” those gathered to hear Ducey, a Republican gubernatorial candidate, weren’t complaining.
The ice cream was more than dessert. For the campaign, it’s their pitch to voters, topped with politics and served up with one-on-one time with Ducey.
