Election Results: Local and State Races Decided

In Ohio, Republicans have significantly increased their dominance on the state Supreme Court from a 4-3 to a 6-1 majority, following the election of three Republican justices, including Megan Shanahan, Joseph Deters, and Dan Hawkins. Meanwhile, Democrat Angie Craig secured her fourth term in Congress for Minnesota's second district, achieving her largest victory margin. In Michigan's local elections, Robert Womack reclaimed his seat on the Kent County Board of Commissioners with a decisive win, and Doug Zylstra retained his position as the sole Democrat on the Ottawa County Board, following a challenging contest against Republican Orlando Estrada. Additionally, Republican Phil Kuyers and Jacob Bonnema won seats on the Ottawa County Board, both securing significant margins over their opponents, with Kuyers defeating Angela Stanford-Butler and Bonnema overcoming Democrat Chris Crothers and unaffiliated candidate Rob Thurkettle. These results reflect a continued Republican majority on the Ottawa County Board, despite Zylstra's victory. All election results are unofficial until certified by the respective county Boards of Canvassers.
