Wherever you are in the world, you’re probably waking up to a barrage of news about the U.S. Midterm Elections. Tens of millions of Americans voted yesterday, and millions more cast their ballots early in an election that was billed as a reckoning for the Trump administration and the MAGA movement. Some results are still trickling in (let’s go, Blississippi!), but the outcome has already been dubbed a “Bluenami.” Democrats have won majorities in the House and Senate and even flipped control of some states that have long had Republican leadership, like Texas and South Carolina.
If you follow my work, you’ll know I love to cover the down-ballot questions that don’t grab as many headlines. So for today’s newsletter, I’m sharing four pieces of good news on local or state-level issues that you might not hear about elsewhere.
