With 3 flipped congressional seats, a flipped state house and a growing majority in the state senate, it’s tough to argue with Curtis Hertel’s credentials at this point.
Hertel cites his insistence of pushing down ballot races as the reason the party was so successful.
“We obviously had great candidates, but I would also say that you know waves hit at the top. But if you want a tsunami, you got to drive it down.”
Hertel says there is still some work to be done to organize and improve outreach in rural parts of the state.
It’s unclear who would challenge Hertel for the spot. He has the backing of high-profile party members like Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed.
