KENTUCKY — During last week’s weeks midterm elections, Republicans in Congress were able to tighten the margin to inch closer to taking control of the United States House of Representatives.
Conversations have already started about what the impact of the Nov. 2022 election cycle will have on next year’s political landscape.
Here in Kentucky, the Commonwealth has six members in Congress. Five of the six are Republicans and they all successfully won re-election.
“Well, first of all, if you look at the original counties in the first district, the counties I have represented for the past six years. I think we’re very organized in those counties. People know me, they see me often, very active and accessible in those counties. So we’re very pleased with the results there. But a lot of people don’t realize is I’ve received about 100,000 new voters in my Congressional district through redistricting. I received Boyle County, Washington County, part of Anderson County and all of Franklin County, which is a great Republican county, and I was really happy with how we did there and those counties last night, I believe you’ll see two years from now we’ll do better because in January I’ll be the official representative in those counties and we’ll go in there and get organized and they’ll start to resembling how we do in the in the county that I’ve represented. Once I get going in these counties people know me and they know that I work hard for for them they will do better, but I was the only Republican that won in Franklin County last night. It’s still a very Democrat county,” adds Comer..
