There was quite a bit of celebration in the Hellenic world over the results of Tuesday’s midterm elections. Kathimerini declared it a “Good Day for Hellenism in America”. Several media outlets noted the reelection of the Hellenes in the House of Representatives — Gus Bilirakis, John Sarbanes, and Dina Titus — as well of the swelling of their ranks with the election of Chris Pappas of New Hampshire to the House. Hellenes around the world were elated over the reelection of Senator Bob Menendez. And the emergence of newly elected leaders at the state level — former Ambassador Eleni Kounalakis became the first Greek-American female to be elected to statewide office (Lieutenant Governor) in California, Andrew Gounardes and James Skoufis were elected to New York State Senate, flipping control of the Senate to the Democratic Party in that State.
