On Tuesday, November 3, voters across the country chose leaders in congressional, gubernatorial, and state races. The results brought historic firsts and significant changes in Washington and here in the Midwest.

A new direction in Congress

The Associated Press reported that Democrats won control of both the U.S. House and Senate. That shift will shape the national conversation and the decisions Congress takes in the coming years.

Historic moments and a Kansas milestone

Georgia voters elected Keisha Lance Bottoms as governor, making her the first Black woman elected governor in U.S. history, according to the Associated Press. Here in Kansas, AP called Democrat Adam Hamilton the winner of the U.S. Senate race. His victory marks the first time in 94 years that a Kansas Democrat has won a U.S. Senate election.

Every voice belongs

Election results are about more than party control. They shape the leadership and decisions that affect families and communities. Every person deserves a meaningful opportunity to participate in civic life, including people with disabilities and the families who support them.

At TruBlu Brotherz, we believe every voice deserves to be seen, heard, and respected. As officials finish counting and certify results, we’ll continue following the stories and decisions that matter to our communities.

Election-night calls and projections are not the same as certified results. State and local election officials complete the canvass and certify official totals.
