UPSET: Tea Party Favorite Matt Bevin Elected Governor of Kentucky
(The Blaze) – Republican Matt Bevin has defeated Democrat Jack Conway to become only the second Republican governor in the state in four decades.
Independent Drew Curtis was a distant third in Tuesday’s election.
Republicans have dominated federal elections in Kentucky, but moderate Democrats have maintained control of state government. Bevin’s election gives Republicans control of the executive branch along with a commanding majority in the state Senate. Democrats still have an eight-seat majority in the state House of Representatives.
Tea Party against all odds has flourished in an impossible political environment. Now we are making the impossible very attainable not only in Congress but soon in the White House. Steve Eichler TeaParty/TeaParty.org
Focus will almost immediately shift to the state House elections in 2016, where U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell has vowed to flex his powerful fundraising muscle to help Republicans to take over the only Southern state legislative body controlled by Democrats.
