I did early voting last week, but am anxious for the city council and school board elections here. The CC at large race has been quite the show, and I am ready to see the trump-esque incumbent get the boot! ohhh please tell me more! I love seeing Trumpists get their asses handed to them The incumbent has been on CC for 16 years, and although he doesnt wave his Republican flag he argues and attacks others like Trump. His social media presence has been embarrassing with his attacks on a challenger who is a lovely, smart, passionate woman that not once attacked him. |

One of the ladies on my June 2013 BMB ran for City Council in Massachusetts and won! I'm so happy for her.
My city just voted in a fantastic woman for an at large seat on city council. We live in the suburbs so I couldn't vote for her but I'm excited to have her leadership in our city!

I met Beshear when his dad was Kentucky's governor and he came across as a genuinely nice guy and I am so excited to see what he does for Kentucky.

I'm still waiting for them to officially call the KY race before I celebrate. I will say I'm seeing a lot of people on Twitter predicting this as bad for McConnell and I just don't see it. It would be awesome if Mitch were voted out, but really I think if Bevin hadn't pissed off every cop and teacher in the state by messing with their pensions, he probably would have won. I do think Bevin is an extra kind of awful. I don’t have my hopes up about McConnell but I’ll still throw some money McGrath’s way. |

I think it puts pressure on McConnell to think about not always having his nose up T’s ass. So that’s a good thing.

Fairfax County, one of the largest and wealthiest counties in the nation, just voted in a very progressive Supervisor, Commonwealth's Attorney, and Sheriff. And not by small margins. That's a big deal.

Laura Jane up by almost 3,000 now!!! Yippee! I was so worried about Laura Jane Cohen’s race. When I checked before doing DS’s bedtime, she was down by 100. I’m breathing a bit easier now. |

Less exciting but it looks like our mayoral race is headed to a runoff election in December. Candidates have to get 50%+1 to be declared the winner and the top two are at 42% and 43%. They are both dems so it is a win either way but the incumbent is running for his 5th term so it’s a big deal if he loses. The other has 23 years experience between the State House and State Senate. I won’t be able to vote though, since we won’t live in the city proper.
My city council at-large got smoked, as I expected.
