AP Race Call: Republican Patrick Morrisey wins election for governor in West Virginia
Republican Patrick Morrisey captured the governor’s office in West Virginia on Thursday. Morrisey defeated Huntington Democratic Mayor Steve Williams. Morrisey has served three terms as the state’s attorney general. He had a lopsided advantage in campaign fundraising over Williams in a state where registered Republicans far outnumber Democrats. Morrisey grew up in New Jersey and moved to West Virginia in 2006. He’s the fourth Republican elected to a first term as West Virginia’s governor since 1933. Republican Gov. Jim Justice was barred by law from running for a third consecutive term. The Associated Press declared Morrisey the winner at 4:55 p.m. EST..
AP Race Call: Republican Kelly Ayotte wins election for governor in New Hampshire
Former U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte was elected governor of New Hampshire on Thursday, extending the GOP’s hold on the office by defeating former Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig. The seat was open for the first time since 2016 after Republican Gov. Chris Sununu decided not to seek a fifth two-year term. Ayotte, who was New Hampshire’s first female attorney general, is the third woman to be elected governor in the state. She focused much of her campaign on crime and immigration, stoking anti-Massachusetts sentiment with her “Don’t Mass it up” slogan. The Associated Press declared Ayotte the winner at 4:45 p.m. EST.
