What We're Waiting For-And What We're Not
After a long night and another long day, the country still
doesn't know who our president will be in January. The final
answer on the presidency seems to reside with the states of Georgia,
North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Nevada and perhaps Arizona. Certainly,
this can feel very unsettling.
As we all wait together for what may be many days, we encourage all
believers to remain in prayer for America-for the deep divisions
in the country, for whomever will ultimately be named president, and
for God to be preparing the many godly men and women who were elected
to public office last night.
We also want to provide you with an initial update of overall election
results that Family Policy Alliance tracked last night-many of
them victories that you helped achieve!-as well as our thoughts
on "what's next?".
Pro-family leaders appear to have maintained control of the United
States Senate!
With your support and prayer, Family Policy Alliance invested in key
Senate races, micro-targeting voters with our pro-family messages. It
looks as though the pro-family candidate won in four out of seven of
those races, and two may head to a runoff:
1. Kansas: Current Rep. Roger Marshall elected to the Senate
2. Montana: Sen. Daines reelected
3. South Carolina: Sen. Graham reelected
4. North Carolina: Sen. Thom Tillis continues to hold a
lead
5. Georgia: Sen. David Perdue continues to hold a lead, but this
may head to a runoff
6. Georgia: Sen. Kelly Loeffler advanced to a runoff
7. New Mexico: the pro-family candidate, Mark Ronchetti, lost
This is wonderful news, and these likely victories were only possible
because of you! The wins in these races will help stop extreme
policies related to abortion and gender, will safeguard religious
freedom, will put a stop to any "court-packing" plans, and
more.
Pro-Family leaders made gains in the U.S. House!
This was something that was unexpected-it appears conservatives
gained some seats, the amount yet to be determined, in the U.S. House!
Your support made that possible, allowing Family Policy Alliance of
New Mexico to invest in what many deemed the most contested U.S. House
race in the country, New Mexico's 2nd congressional district
where pro-family leader Yvette Herrell achieved a win!
Important wins for pro-family leaders and policies in many, many
states!
As you know, the heart of our work is transforming policy at the state
level, which is where most of the pro-life and social policy action is
at-especially with gridlock in D.C.
Though results are still coming in, we are happy to report some
outstanding pro-family wins across the country. Here are a few
examples:
* Our friends at Louisiana Family Forum worked hard to pass a
pro-life amendment to their state constitution, declaring that
there is no constitutional right to abortion in their state
constitution, and they were victorious! Hopefully other states
will follow Louisiana's lead.
* Pro-family leaders strengthened their majorities in states
including Kansas, according to our friends at Family Policy
Alliance of Kansas.
* Key states, like Minnesota and Pennsylvania, retained pro-life
majorities in at least one body of their legislative branch.
Obviously, the votes and data are still coming in. We will have more
to share with you in the days to come-and more good news to
share about how you made a difference in critical races, including by
reaching pro-life, pro-family voters who are inconsistent at actually
voting. What's next?
The razor-thin margins on the presidential race tell us that our
country is deeply divided. We have three suggestions for the family of
believers as we await results:
1. It's not a time to be anxious, but a time to pray.
Thankfully, as believers, our hope doesn't rest in any
political leader of any party. So let's join in prayer
for our country, for its next leader (whomever that may end up
being), and for each other.
2. Remember who our enemy is.
It's important for us as believers to remember that our
enemy is not the person who voted for the candidates we
didn't, nor is our enemy the person that supports the
policy ideas we don't-even on abortion. Rather, our
enemy is a spiritual one who spreads lies and cheers when
something truly terrible, like abortion, gets legitimacy in a
form of human government. So, we must fight against that enemy,
while loving our neighbors.
3. Join us in continued prayer and thanksgiving for the Senate!
If the US Senate does indeed retain a pro-family majority,
this is a major praise! The efforts in these races were truly a
team effort, and your support allowed Family Policy Alliance to
focus the majority of our resources on the tightest races
there. These victories will provide a firewall against the far
left's political agenda-including on abortion,
sexual ideology, court-packing, and more.
Waiting and praying with you-and thankful for the victories you
made possible, by God's grace,
