In a year when Democrats insisted that a "blue wave" was coming, not a single Republican House member lost their bid for reelection in 2020. Even better, Republicans flipped 4 seats in the liberal stronghold of California.
And, after not flipping a single seat in CA for 22 years, we officially flipped four this cycle. Special shout-out to @kevinomccarthy and @millanpatterson and our whole CA team @NRCC

Our party - and the American people - will benefit for years to come because of the strong Republican women who stepped forward to run. But we’re just getting started.https://t.co/kEcFTDx1Gh

Democrat women such as Nancy Pelosi and AOC have received an unbalanced amount attention from the media. That will not be the case in 2021!https://t.co/o93Q6CfeGJ pic.twitter.com/1jKvMTkd9c
Yet another GOP woman, Dr. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, officially won her race on Monday!
If you ever doubted that Every Vote Counts, look to #IA2 where Republican candidate Mariannette Miller-Meeks won by 6 votes!

Iowans are tenacious, optimistic and hard working, and I will take those same attributes to Washington, D.C. #ia02 pic.twitter.com/WKkAuap5Qf
As a result of the gains made by the GOP in the House, Illinois Representative Cheri Bustos stepped down as the Chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC):
In a leaked call with Bustos, Pelosi, and the House Democratic caucus, moderate members fumed over the party’s decision to embrace socialism and extreme calls to “Defund Police,” costing them seats once voters learned of their ultimate plans.
“No one should say ‘defund the police’ ever again,” said Virginia Rep. Abigail Spanberger, who narrowly pulled out a second term with a two-point win in the Richmond suburbs. “Nobody should be talking about socialism.”
Congratulations to all the new and returning Republican members of the House. We look forward to working with you!
