Our Friends of Retail were largely successful with 60 of our 71 general-election candidates winning their elections to serve in the state house or state senate. There will be a lot of brand-new faces around the Capitol in January; 55 to be exact (51 in the House, 4 in the Senate). When counting those returning vs. those new to the chamber, there’s 48% turnover in the House and 42% turnover in the Senate. Expect those turnover numbers to be lower in the future thanks to the approval of Proposition 1 allowing lawmakers to now serve a combination of up to 12 total years in either the House or Senate.
