The November 2023 election resulted in some purple outcomes, an encouraging sign that the American electorate is willing to cross party lines. Some examples include:
In the Kentucky gubernatorial election, incumbent Democrat Andy Beshear defeated Republican Daniel Cameron to win a second term in a state where Donald Trump beat Joe Biden in 2020 by more the 25 percentage points.
In the Virginia legislature, Democrats flipped control of the House of Delegates for the first time in more than two decades. Virginia has a Republican governor.
Citizens in Ohio voted to protect abortion rights in a state with a Republican Governor and majority Republicans in both the House and Senate.
We are encouraged with these examples that America wants to vote purple, but we would like to see more. Help us heal the divisions in our country and stop considering ourselves "red" or "blue." Let's be Purple!
