The "What happened in your state last year?" Megathread, 2018

Posted: 31 Dec 2018 09:00 AM PST

Hi there, /r/politics. Over the last year, you had the opportunity to discuss local political news in the "What happened in your state last week?" megathreads, which I post every Monday. Every week, users from all over the United States contributed to the thread, discussing local politics and giving an insight into how their state was being run. So with the end of the year in sight, I would like to give you all the opportunity to give /r/politics an insight into your state's most important political news stories of last year. What was in your opinion the most important story coming from your state? Did you have any elections, scandals, important gatherings or other news? Feel free to tell us in the comments!

Since this is a thread intended for local politics, national news stories are not considered on topic, just like in the weekly threads. Comments about national news stories will therefore be removed. If you see a comment from your state, but you think another news story was important as well, feel free to reply to that comment with that news story. Also, please review our civility guidelines before engaging with others.

That's all. On behalf of the /r/politics modteam I'd like to wish you all a happy new year, and I hope to see you all in the first "What happened in your state last week?" megathread of 2019.
