Since Sen. Ebke lost  :( how bad is that going to screw us in the Judicial Committee?  Hope Ernie don't become the chair.

That's really unfortunate.  She was probably the best friend we had in the Legislature.

Riepe was defeated, and Lathrop is back.   :angry:

My rep Thibodeau was defeated by a socialist.

It's looking like Dist. 10 is going to Deboer, another lefty.

RINO McCollister retained his seat.

Get ready for not gaining anything and fighting to keep what few rights we have...  :'(

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

My sources tell me a good chance Lying Liberal Lathrop will chair the Judiciary Committee.
Also, Ricketts is accountable for anti-2A Tom Brandt from the 32nd.

Not really, Ricketts backed the person who came in 3rd in the primary and he and the Republican party pretty much stayed out of things in the general election. Of course Tom Brandt made use of some of the attacks that had been used against Laura in the primary and resent them in the general.

Yes Andy, Ricketts original pick was Al Riskowski. Once he lost, he put all his backing, along with money behind Brandt. This is confirmed.

That was what my research yielded as well, but I have no inside sources only online.  I'm certainly open to education though.

Dont know where you got your info, but a simple check at accountability and disclosure shows nothing from Pete Rickets or any of his concerns giving Brandt anything.
