I'm celebrating, go ahead and alert me. [View all]

We didn't win everything, but so far I'm thrilled:

Newsom reelected California governor
Padilla makes history as first Latino elected to Senate from California
Voters approve ban on sale of flavored tobacco products
Proposition 1 abortion rights ballot measure passes
Propositions 26 and 27, which would have legalized sports gaming, lose big
Proposition 28: School art measure cruising to victory

I came to celebrate and commiserate but...wow!

Happy to share joy with anyone who wants some.
