My little bright spot of Blue

As bad as it was in Arizona, I can take a few comforts:

1) My US Rep stayed Democratic - Kyrsten Sinema easily won re-election.
2) My State House and State Senate seats stayed Democratic
3) My precinct overwhelming voted Democratic
4) School override was approved, with those valuing public education winning.
5) County Hospital bond was approved

1. Same here in No. VA, my Senator and Rep (both Democrats) were reelected and our bond passed.

My one bright spot is out of all my neighbors that bother to vote, 57% are Democrats and care about our community.

At this moment I am sweating out the school superintendent results.
My daughter teaches at a public school and at this moment David Garcia is behind

7. I said the same thing about Ducey. And Reagan instead of Goddard.

But you're right. TG Kyrsten won.

On edit - I just checked. Garcia fell further behind.
