While there were no local races per se on the ballot yesterday, two local residents did advance in their state and federal races.
Congressman Glenn Grothman was the clear-cut winner over first-time challenger Douglas Mullenix, earning 66,000 more votes.
Meanwhile, Devin LeMahieu also earned a landslide victory over Ruth Villareal and Jeanette Deschene.
In the Republican gubernatorial race, Tim Michaels bested Rebecca Kleefisch by 35,000 votes.
That trend was also seen locally, as Michaels received 376 more votes in Manitowoc County.
Also, Ron Johnson defeated David Schroeder by nearly 500,000 votes.
