Good news!!!

[Tree Lady]

I am so excited. I live in Medford, OR red city in blue state and elections always go to the republicans.

Yesterday was an Election Day for school districts and libraries and every single dem that ran won!! That rarely happens here. None of them said R or D but everyone knew who was what. The two ladies for library that won were against banning books.

I guess people are finally tired of having crazy in their education.

6. Wait a minute...is good news like that allowed at DU???

My western Wisconsin city of 50,000 had a non-partisan mayoral election last month where both candidates were Democrats. The winner was a younger Black man in his first election which was surprising because his opponent was on the city council and had been president of the city council.

Which was impressive. One of the library winners was very young late 20's.

16. My son tells me that the same thing happened

in his red area. They had made a little progress since Trump came on the scene, but this time, Democrats won everything, partisan and nonpartisan.

i think krasnov and company overshot their mark. still don't know if democracy will survive, but this tells me we have a chance.

How was the turnout?

Many don't vote on these small elections but so important.
