Democratic House Targets
Before this year and as far back as anyone can remember, Democrats controlled the Kentucky House of Representatives. Even though no Presidential candidate has carried Kentucky since 1996 and Kentucky has not elected a Democrat to the US Senate since 1992, Democrats in Kentucky have fair better on the state level. However, this ended in 2016, when Democrats lost control of the House of Representatives – what many commenters consider “the last Democratic legislative chamber in the South”.
