All fourteen Democrats won in my municipal elections.

Seven Democrats for City Council. Seven Democrats for Board of Education.
There's a beautiful photo of some of the candidates in the local paper: https://www.theday.com/local-news/20211102/democrats-sweep-field-in-new-london-races

I know it's one blue city in a blue state, but it's good news. I was a little worried when voters supported an ordinance mandating a certain number of police officers--an ordinance our Democratic city councilors had repealed--in a special referendum a few months ago.
