by Democratic women--Gretchen Whitmer: Governor (first in 8 yrs); Jocelyn Benson: Secretary of State (first in 24 yrs!); Dana Nessel: Attorney General (first in 16 yrs. Granted, Garlin Gilchrist II, the Lt. Governor is a male, but he's the first African American Lt. Governor in Michigan history, so that's worth celebrating. Then there's the re-election of Debbie Stabenow to the US Senate; Elissa Slotkin's awesome victory over Mike "Hair Gel" Bishop in my district; the fact that the Michigan House lost its Republican supermajority so they'll have to deal with Democrats to get anything done--especially since the Governor is now a Democrat.
Then there's there's the passage of all three Proposals. Prop 1 making pot legal (haven't smoked it in 40 years--maybe I should try it again) 😂 Prop 2 Anti-Gerrymandering--heck, now that districts will be apportioned fairly, maybe the GOP will become a permanent minority party. Prop 3 which enshrines voting rights in the State Constitution such as automatic voter registration & same-day registration, and reinstating straight party ticket voting.
That deserves a lobster tail, maybe even two! Besides, I'm retired, so who cares about weekends?
