Last night was a big night across the country for some key races, some of which went quietly into the blogosphere and others that caused reverberations that will leave both Democrats and Republicans feeling the pressure that November is bringing…and with it, fall winds of change. Real change.
Signers of the Contract from America won key elections in three states and four races:
NORTH CAROLINA: Bill Randall won the District 13 runoff against Bernie Reeves with almost 60% of the vote. We intend to keep an eye on his campaign as Randall attempts to unseat incumbent Brad Miller.
SOUTH CAROLINA: Tim Scott, running in District 01 against Paul Thurmond, son of Strom Thurmond, walked off with 68% of the vote in this mandatory primary runoff.
Also taking home a big win in SC was Jeff Duncan out of District 03. Jeff faced primary challenger Richard Cash and came away with nearly 52% of the vote.
UTAH: With all eyes of the nation on the dirty politics that seemed to permeate this election, Mike Lee trumped Tim Bridgewater’s run at the Utah Senate with 51% of the vote in what turned out to be a nail-biter of an election night.
Everyone associated with the Contract from America would like to congratulate all of these candidates on running clean campaigns and sticking with the principals of the Contract. Keep up the great work and we’re behind you!
Also, a special “Thank You!” to everyone involved the the grassroots Twitter initiative, @TheTwisters. Follow them at hashtag #twisters.
November’s so bright, we’re all gonna have to wear shades!
