Last night was intense. Long. Shocking. Exciting. The list could go on. And when it was all said and done, the Republican party walked away with 33 Governors, the House of Representatives majority, the Senate majority, and Republican president-elect. Holy cow.

In January, the Republican party will be running Washington, DC. As a very proud Republican, I couldn't be more excited for the opportunity that lies ahead. There are so many possibilities and I can't help but hear Stars and Stripes Forever playing in the background with an American flag waving in the breeze. However, while this surprising "sweep" feels wonderful, I can't help but feel a sense of urgency.

The Republican Party has a chance to shake up Washington, and that is something that we all know needs to happen. This election is monumental, but it is time for us to show our fellow Americans why being a conservative is the best route for our country right now. As Republicans, we have the opportunity to show that we are in fact, "one nation under God" and are proud to live in the land of the free and home of the brave. God Bless America. It's time to get to work.
