Good, no GREAT news for Republicans across the country from Tuesday's Elections:

You won't hear this from the Mob Media.  But there were actually many great news stories from the off-year elections for the GOP.  See below and spread the word.  From GOP.

It was a historic night for Republicans in elections in all corners of the country. Before the mainstream media tries to spin last night’s results in favor of the Democrats, see for yourself:
  • While we still wait for the final result of the Kentucky gubernatorial race, Republicans swept the rest of the statewide elections in Kentucky, including the Attorney General’s race that went to Daniel Cameron, the first African-American individually elected statewide in the Bluegrass State, and the first Republican to hold the office in over 70 years.
  • In Mississippi, Tate Reeves defeated Jim Hood, and Republicans swept all six statewide offices. President Trump held a rally for Tate Reeves and Mississippi Republicans in Tupelo, Mississippi last Friday. Mississippi also elected their first ever female Attorney General, Republican Lynn Fitch. This is the first time a Republican has held the AG position in Mississippi in over 150 years!
  • In Auburn, Maine, Jason Levesque won a second term in the Mayoral election, a city that President Trump carried in 2016. Trump Victory was on the ground in Auburn to help Get-Out-The-Vote for Mayor Levesque.
  • In New Jersey’s Senate District 1 special election, the Trump Campaign Co-Chair in New Jersey Mike Testa defeated incumbent Democrat Sen. Robert Andrejczak. While President Trump carried the district by over 8 points in 2016, the district has been a long-time stronghold for Democrats, and Testa’s victory all but wiped out US Rep. Jeff Van Drew’s legacy in the district as Andrejczak was Van Drew’s handpicked replacement. Additionally, New Jersey added a net three new legislative seats, resulting in the biggest pick up for Republicans since 1991.
  • In Keene, New Hampshire, Republican George Hansel defeated Democrat Mitchell Greenwald. Hansel had lost to the incumbent Democrat by 2 votes in the jungle primary, which was the closest margin Keene has seen for a Republican in nearly a decade. This is monumental for President Trump’s chances in 2020, as the city was carried in favor of Hillary Clinton 62%-30% over President Trump in 2016.
  • In Ohio, Republicans won all over the Buckeye State, including municipal races in traditional Democrat strongholds like Erie, Lorain, Ottawa and Cuyahoga Counties, counties that will be crucial to President Trump’s re-election in 2020.
  • In Pennsylvania, Republicans had a similar night, winning two county commissioner seats in Berks county, including the first Latino commissioner in Michael Rivera, two county commissioner seats in Dauphin county, a county that voted for Hillary Clinton twice, two county commissioner seats in Westmoreland county, the DA’s race in Cambria county, the Washington county commissioner’s race that swung their county government Republican for the first time in decades, and commissioners races in Greene county. Republicans also picked up a seat on the PA Superior Court, in which Megan King was endorsed by President Trump.
  • In Washington state, conservative Mayoral candidate Nadine Woodward defeated Ben Stuckart in a shocking victory in the liberal stronghold of Spokane, Washington.
  • Republicans also won major ballot initiative victories in Arizona, Colorado, and Texas. In Tucson, Arizona, voters overwhelmingly rejected proposition 205, which tried to make Tucson a sanctuary city. In an embarrassing loss for Colorado Democrats, Coloradans overwhelmingly rejected a tax increase by way of Proposition CC. In the non-battleground state of Texas, voters effectively banned state income taxes in the Lone Star State through proposition 4.
Bottom line: Republicans had a great night across the country in local and state elections.
