We did good!

Governor, Senator, Treasurer, etc...etc. Sadly, I'm here in Woodford County, a redneck MAGAt stronghold, but damn glad that the State offices, including a majority of Senators will be holding the keys for at least another 2 years. We have a LOT to be thankful for...can you imagine if Redneck Bailey got the Gov Seat? The stuff of nightmares.

I was born and raised in Franklin County which used to hold the distinction of being the most Democratic downstate county. Sadly, it is now solid red. "God, guns, and gays" is the reason, sadly.
