He went low. She went to the Capitol.

A few important highlights from yesterday’s election, one year into the nasty guy’s regime, as listed by Melissa McEwan of Shakesville.

Virginia

* The governor’s office stayed in Democrat hands.

* The Lieutenant Governor went to Justin Fairfax, a black man.

* Danica Roem, a transgender woman, was elected to the House of Delegates. She beat out long-time incumbent GOP Bob Marshall. He introduced Virginia’s anti-trans “bathroom bill” so it is fitting he lost to a trans person. Marshall is an overall vile person. Roem is full of grace and composure. McEwan tweeted: “Danica Roem defeated a dude who is profoundly transphobic and was personally abusive to her. He went low. She is going to the Capitol.”

* Two Latinas were elected to the House of Delegates, beating GOP incumbents to do so.

* At least 14 seats in the House of Delegates flipped red to blue. A few races are too close to call, so there might be enough to flip the whole chamber to Dem control.

Elsewhere

* Transwoman Andrea Jenkins was elected to the Minneapolis City Council.

* Transman Tyler Titus won a seat on the Erie, PA school board.

* Jenny Durkan was elected as Seattle’s mayor. She is the first female mayor since 1928 and the first out lesbian.

* Wilmot Collins is the first black mayor of Helena, MT. Collins was a refuge from Liberia.

* Melvin Carter is the first black mayor of St. Paul.

The huge Dem victory in Virginia is in part a response to the violence in Charlottesville, about 3 months ago.

McEwan wants to make clear: The GOP definitely noticed. And will work hard to make sure it can’t happen again. That badly misnamed Commission on Election Integrity is still working hard on voter suppression and the nasty guy is busy filling court vacancies (held open for him by Mitch McConnel) with judges who think voter suppression is just fine.
