I have some news from Indiana, all good news, of course. Republicans made further gains in the legislature. They will have an incredible 40-to-10 majority in the state Senate, the biggest in my lifetime, and 71-to-29 majority in the state House of Representatives. They also won every statewide office and easily reelected their members of Congress.
Me again before my time runs out.
Some may remember that freshman Congresswoman Gloria Negrette McLeod gave up a safe Democrat seat in Congress to run for San Bernardino County Supervisor so she could govern more locally. Well, she lost to a local state Assemblyman. Most didn’t see that coming.
The Orange County Board of Supervisors have two potential rising Republican stars. Michelle Park Steele was elected to represent the northwestern part of the county by a wide margin, the first Supervisor of Korean ancestry. It also has its first Supervisor of Japanese ancestry in Lisa Bartlett (I don’t know her maiden name), but I’m not certain of Bartlett’s conservatism (she had labor union backing for the nominally non-partisan office and her opponent was also a Republican).
Indiana is the kind of state that should NOT have a rat senator
Those are downright sexual numbers in the IN legislature, I’m jealous.
Four fifths majority in the Senate is insane, and it looks like the rat pigs won’t be taking back the House that used to be so hard for us to win.
