Democrats Continue Control Of State House
KENTUCKY....
Republicans picked up seven seats in the Kentucky House of Representatives in Tuesday's election, but Democrats will remain in control. The Republican caucus now has 42 members heading into the 2011 session of the General Assembly. House Speaker Greg Stumbo says he's pleased with the Democrat performance overall in the state, especially considering the heavy Republican gains nationwide. Stumbo says the election cycle was a tsunami not of our making, but Democrats were able to ride the wave rather than be swept away by it, and, when the dust settles, they will find that where other state legislatures trended Republican, the Kentucky House held strong. He says he's very proud of that.
