 The Brighton Lakes area has been a Republican stronghold and remained that way after last night's election. Republicans won all six state legislative races in that immediate area. Our Taylor Archer has a closer look. Taking down campaign signs was on the top of the list of things to do for representatives Josh Heinzman and Dale Lewick. Since 6 30 last night we did that till about 10 30 quarter to 11 last night and then you know by then the return started coming in and so we started again at about seven o'clock this morning. Make sure that I'm getting everything neat and tidy in my in my district all the signs need to come down. Both of the representatives have been reelected into their positions and are ready to move forward. Feeling really good about what I've been able to work on and be a part of over the course of my first term and then just wanting to build on that going into the next two years. You get a real report card as to what how effective people thought you were. So I was very pleased that that my report card was reasonably good. And both Representative Heinzman and Lewick are adamant about first finding ways to make health insurance more affordable. Right off the bat I think one of the biggest issues that we're going to have to be talking about is health care. Everybody knows that. We're trying to do everything we can to figure out what's going to happen at the national level what the impacts are going to be here. There's clearly situations where people just cannot afford it. They're going to end up going without health insurance. We're going bankrupt and so we're going to have to step in and mitigate that mess one way or another. With experience in office already under their belt they hope to find plans soon to help their districts. In Brainerd, Taylor Archer, Lakeland News.
