Conservatives Score Victories in Local Elections on Bad Night for Democrats

Republican and conservative candidates made notable gains in local elections held on Tuesday in what is shaping up to be a bad night for Democrats in states including California and Wisconsin.

Republican Connie Conway was leading in the bipartisan primary for California's 22nd district as of early Wednesday morning. She is running to replace former Republican Representative Devin Nunes.

Republican candidates also had strong showings elsewhere on Tuesday night.

Samantha Kerkman defeated Rebecca Matoska-Mentink, a Democrat, in the race for executive of Kenosha County, Wisconsin.

Kerkman becomes the first woman to serve as executive of the county. In 2016, former President Donald Trump became the first Republican presidential candidate to win Kenosha County since Richard Nixon.

There was another success for conservative women in Wisconsin on Tuesday as Waukesha County Judge Maria Lazar defeated incumbent Judge Lori Kornblum for a seat on the Court of Appeals for District II.

Kornblum had been appointed to the court by Democratic Governor Tony Evers last year, while Lazar enjoyed the backing of conservative groups in her bid to unseat Kornblum. Lazar maintained a lead of around 10 percent with some 90 percent of ballots counted.

Republican candidate Mitch Kaye led Democrat Dustin McCormick in the so-called "jungle" election for a seat in the Georgia House representing the 45th district. Kaye won 42 percent to McCormick's 39.8 percent with all precincts reporting and the two men will face each other in a May 3 runoff.

Conservatives also appear to have had success at the school board level. In the Waukesha school board election, three challengers—Karrie Kozlowski, Marquell Moorer and Mark Borowski—were triumphant.

Democrats’ popularity sits somewhere between that of Smallpox and COVID right now.

Republicans must be voted in ... but still not trusted to do the job.

WE have to force them.

Every lick of this article seems to have been lifted from Truth Social (and presumably Twitter) account Election Wizard @electionwiz

It focuses on exactly the same races in his/her posts last night.

What is Devin Nunes like? I can’t remember all the players anymore...

I recognize the name- do we WANT him to be replaced?

Nunes already resigned from the Congress to go work for Trump.

So it’s currently an open seat.

I think that Devin Nunes is leaving or has left to work with DJT on the Truth Social platform. Someone, pls correct me if I’m wrong.

Nunes was the ranking Repub on the intel committee who wrote a report refuting all of Schiff’s lies regarding Russian collusion.

Nunes resigned from Congress to work for Trump. It’s now an open seat.
