In contested elections on Tuesday, Democrats won 119 municipal and school board contests and lost 55.
Additionally, Democrats won 52 Judge of Elections slots and 155 Inspector of Election positions.
In total, we contested 391 races county-wide (the most in county history) and won 326 (an 83% victory rate).
The Bucks County Democratic Committee is proud of our local organizations and the many individuals who volunteered to make Tuesday such an outstanding success.
We have proven that when we organize and work at the local level we can engage the electorate and win - even in areas where we do not have a registration advantage.
To those who won, we look forward to your hard work respresenting us in office - we know you will make us proud. To those who battled but came up a little short - we are grateful for your effort and urge you to stay involved and active - you learned from the experience and can only do better if you choose to try again in an upcoming election.
The recipe for future success is evident in Tuesday's results - great candidates who work hard going door to door, supportive and organized municipal organizations, and tireless volunteers who are willing to give of their time to help us reclaim America - one town at time.
Thank you all for an outstanding effort.
