Michigan House of Representatives
A Democrat,Glanville's victory over Republican candidate Robert Regan was considered an upset,as the Michigan's 74th House of Representatives district is typically a Republican stronghold that voted for Trump by 16 points in 2020. [8] [9] Glanville won the seat,which had been in Republican hands since 1993,by 52%-40%. [10]
Glanville's surprise victory has been attributed to a series of controversial comments made by her opponent,Regan,who said that he told his daughters "if rape is inevitable,lie back and enjoy it." He also spread conspiracy theories on the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine,called COVID-19 a "fake pandemic," and shared an opinion that "feminism...is a Jewish program to degrade and subjugate white men.” [8]
