Use this post to talk about the results.
Are there any (unexpectedly) good results in your district or state? Or in districts where you've been volunteering though organisations like Swing Left or Sister District? Are there any results you're excited about for candidates outside your district that you've been following/donating to (perhaps from the various slates we've posted)?
Share the squee or commiserate about near misses!
(Posted early because I'm out for the evening and want to make sure this is ready for when you need it!)

Date: 2018-11-07 03:52 am (UTC)I grew up in New Mexico so I am THRILLED there is a new woman Democratic governor, Michelle Lujan Grisham.
And Sharice Davids has just made history as "the first Native American woman to serve in Congress — a distinction she was expected to share with New Mexico’s Deb Haaland, who was also heading to victory Tuesday night — and the first openly LGBT person to represent the state of Kansas." Great story here: https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/election/article221156115.html
Also of great personal satisfaction, the county clerk in Kentucky who famously denied marriage licenses to same-sex couples – has lost to Democratic challenger Elwood Caudill Jr., who was one of the gay men she denied a license to.
THE NEW SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE WILL BE NANCY PELOSI (AGAIN) YEEEEEEEEEEEEAH
