Nov 2017

2001: Governor
2002: US Senate
2005: Governor
2006: US Senate
2008: US Senate and President
2012: US Senate and President
2013: Governor
2014: US Senate
2016: President
2017: Governor

During this same period, Republicans won the Senate seat once, the Governorship once, and the Presidential race once.
That's twelve Democratic victories to three Republican wins in statewide races.
