In Case You Missed It WMUR’s Adam Sexton reported on Representative-Elect Catherine Rombeau’s historic victory in Bedford. Representative-Elect Rombeau’s victory was the first red to blue legislative flip in the country this year.
Key Points:
“In New Hampshire politics, Bedford has traditionally been a fortress of Republican voters, and the GOP currently enjoys a 12% voter registration advantage here over Democrats. but last night voters turned out for a State House special election and gave a narrow victory to Democratic candidate Catherine Rombeau.”
“Rombeau's win by 37 votes is the first flip of a legislative seat from Republican to Democrat in the country this year.”
“The victory is a referendum on a state budget that included new restrictions on abortion.”
“This election result is another sign Bedford is following a national trend of Republicans losing support in the suburbs.”
