A brief diary about something I know very little about — but saw someone post on Facebook and it’s worth bringing over.

Yesterday, April 25, Morgantown WV elected seven city council members. Progressives won all seven seats — five newcomers and two incumbents. The local news reports I see are not being very explicit about the progressive nature of the sweep, but the quotes make it clear.

Trump won this county (Monongalia) 51.2/40.8.

“I think we had a vision of the future and an inclusive city where everyone is welcome,” [Barry Lee] Wendell said. “Some of the other people were talking about the past.”
