. Republican candidate for governor Heidi Ganahl has been consistently behind in polls, often by double-digit percentages. GOP senate candidate Joe O’Dea has likewise trailed, albeit by closer margins.

She touted a number of Democratic achievements under their majority, many of which had some degree of Republican support: fully funded kindergarten; 10 hours of universal preschool that will help save money for families with young children; tougher regulations on air quality; enshrining the legal right to an abortion; and a slew of new rules for towing companies.
