Andy Beshear just flipped Kentucky’s governor’s seat from red to blue, and he did it with an army of public school teachers behind him.
Hundreds of teachers made phone calls, knocked on doors, and offered voters a ride to the polls. They organized get-out-the-vote programs and “Bevin is a Bully” events (deriding incumbent GOP Gov. Matt Bevin).
While the teachers’ actions were driven more by their intense hatred of Bevin than by pure enthusiasm for Beshear, it still worked. On Tuesday, by a slim margin of 5,300 votes, Beshear ousted the Republican governor of a deep red state. Even President Donald Trump’s rally to support Bevin the day before wasn’t enough to save him.
