Tuesday night was a spectacular night for Republicans nationwide. Locally, Monroe County Republicans had another disappointing night, but we did make up some ground. Ryan Langley took the second county council district despite a fraudulent "Libertarian" candidate taking 5% of the vote. Tamyra d'Ippolito initially tried to challenge Evan Bayh in the Democratic primary because she thought Bayh was not nearly far enough to the Left. The Libertarians had no business nominating a socialist to run as their candidate and shattered the party's reputation as "the party of principle." Langley's win doubles the number of Republicans on the County Council, since Marty Hawk won re-election with an overwhelming 59% of the vote.
