Milam County Election Results!!

Okay Everyone, I hope you were able to get some sleep last night. While I am sure many of you are a little disappointed in the results of the Presidential election, I think the thing to work towards is the future and how our other elected officials perform in Washington.

Only the legislature can keep everything moving. So whether your representative is a Republican or a Democrat is not what is important. What they are able to get done in the next two and/or four years is what is important. Remember, Reagan spent eight years dealing with a Democrat majority in the legislative branch and Clinton with a Republican majority and they were still able to make things happen.

Be motivated to stay on your elected officials and PRAY!!

So without further adieu, here are the results of last night's election here in Milam County. I will post the percentage won in the state and federal races and the actual results in the local races.

Well that's the entire list from the results last night. Republicans now hold 14 of the 20 elected offices in Milam County. Not too shabby for a party that had never had a candidate win a local Milam County Race until 2010.

Thanks for all your work and support. I get a lot of credit for the political change in Milam County but the truth is without your support, both monetarily and physically, none of this would be possible.

Thank You All,
Bill
