Coming off state legislative special election victories in Minnesota and Virginia, Democrats are hoping to elect three more Democrats to join State Rep. Jane Bogetto, who won a special election in November.
The three elections are in districts 91, 105, and 132. Two of the seats are currently held by Republicans and all of them are competitive.
Democrats look to have won distrct 105 and 132, the districts that were seen as the more difficult to win. That suggests they may have won the other seat as well and is good news as they prepare for a coming special for a GOP-held 2nd senate district.
Update: Unfortunately Gen Frank was defeated by Dwight Schornhorst by a 51.9-48.1 margin. Still, it was a close race and Democrats picked up one seat in the Missouri house, holding their own even in the more conservative parts of the state.
