LAKELAND When Democrats recaptured the U.S. Senate last week, a Lakeland woman could claim at least a sliver of credit.
Taylor Aguilera spent more than a month working in Georgia, leading a team devoted to registering voters and encouraging them to vote in the runoff election for the state’s two Senate seats. The team worked for a progressive organization that endorsed the two Democratic candidates.
Those candidates, Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, claimed narrow victories last week, creating a 50-50 partisan tie in the Senate and effectively giving Democrats control as Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will vote to break ties.
