    September 2, 2009

    Democrat Curt Hanson won a special election to replace former representative John Whitaker who was appointed to a role with the USDA. Iowa Democratic Party chair Michael Kiernan commented on the victory;

    "I congratulate Curt Hanson on a successful campaign. His was a local campaign about local issues, and it is not surprising he was successful. Curt will make an excellent addition to the Democratic majority in the Iowa House. Congratulations to Speaker Murphy, Majority Leader McCarthy and the staff of the Iowa Democratic Party, for their outstanding effort and teamwork, and the victory that has followed.

    "Democrats have been successful in the last two election cycles and tonight because we have recruited great candidates, followed through on the promises we've made and are governing the state responsibly.

    "We will continue to build upon this strong organization and team approach as we prepare for statewide elections next fall. Tonight's results don't change our strategy for 2010. Tomorrow we will get back to work on candidate recruitment, fundraising and organizing. We have every reason to expect continued success."

    Kentucky Democrats win state Senate special election

    September 1, 2009

    In Kentucky Democrats won a special election state Senate race when State Rep. Robin Webb won the 18th Senate district seat. The seat was made available when Gov. Beshear (D) appointed Sen. Borders to the Kentucky Public Service Commission. This victory pulls the Democrats in the state Senate to within two seats of sharing power.

    "Senate Minority Leader Ed Worley, D-Richmond, said: “This is a huge victory for the Senate Democratic caucus and a huge loss for the Republican Senate caucus.”

    “The Democrats have won the last two special elections. So if there is another special election this year, momentum is clearly on our side,” Worley said."
