The GOP tidal wave is being credited with delivering election night victories to candidates at all levels of the political spectrum.

Here's how Kootenai County Coroner-elect Debbie Wilkey described the 2-to-1 trouncing of her co-worker and Democratic opponent, chief deputy coroner Jody DuLuca Hissong, for the open position:

“If residents of the county came out to make a change, I’m glad I’m part of that change,” Wilkey, who ran as a Republican, said. “I’m so fully looking forward to doing the job of coroner, it is a true dream come true.”
