Republicans failed to take the Kentucky House of Representatives Tuesday night, but GOP incumbent Lynn Bechler of Crittenden County defeated his Democratic opposition to return to Frankfort for two more years representing Crittenden, Livingston, Caldwell and a portion of Christian County in the 4th House District.
In Congress, U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell was re-elected to the upper house and will be promoted to Senate Majority Leader, as Republicans gained enough seats to take control of the 100-seat chamber.
Republican Congressman Ed Whitfield of Hopkinsville was also re-elected to represent western Kentucky's 1st Congressional District. He was first elected to the seat in 1994.
