Republican State House Gains Reach Record Levels
Congress wasn’t the only thing Republicans gained in last night’s election.
The Republican State Leadership Committee reports that the GOP also took control of nineteen state legislatures with the election of over 500 new Republicans to state houses across the country – the largest GOP gain in state house seats in history.
The GOP will control the Minnesota Senate for the first time in the state’s history and the Republican Party will hold majorities in the Alabama and North Carolina legislatures for the first time since the 1800s.
Republican gains were particularly strong in the south where the GOP now controls 18 of the 28 legislative chambers and a majority of all southern legislative seats for the first time since Reconstruction.
