That is what this election was truly all about. The American people want Congress to take care of America’s business (cheers). So again, thank you very, very much. I appreciate you more than I could ever describe, and I will continue to try to be the kind of representative that you have illustrated that you support, and we will get on with the people’s business.” The crowd erupted in cheers, more applause, and more chants of “JU-LIA!!

Scott Newman comfortably won reelection as County Prosecutor by a 56% to 44% margin over newcomer Joe Champion. The Democrats, won a major victory in the State House of Representatives, breaking the tie and controlling the majority. When asked about the ‘Bayh factor’-whether her re-election was
