Kaul 50.5%

In a political rarity, every incumbent running on Tuesday won re-election. It is also rare to see the top of the ticket split parties, with Democrats winning the Governor’s race and Republicans winning the U.S. Senate seat. There will be a tremendous turnover in the coming legislature with 31 new legislators elected on Tuesday.
