The Lopez and Freemon campaign carried the day in over thirty States on that last Election Day. They helped bring a new class of freshman Senators and Representatives to Washington that would do their best to hold the line against the President who Impeached and replaced them. They regained control of the Senate, but opposition candidates scored great successes in more populous States, and they strengthened their control of the House of Representatives. The Lame Duck Senate spent the rest of their time in the majority rubberstamping as many Presidential initiatives as they had time to vote on, securing their vision to fundamentally transform America. Though the transformation they achieved was not the transformation they planned, since Lopez and Freemon returned to their homes as the best kind of heroes. The kind who fought a good battle, were defeated by a more ruthless enemy, but continued to fight on. Lopez found a powerful position he had not campaigned for awaiting him in Texas, and in Freemon’s Blue Ridge Mountain home of Lexington a new brand of fundamental transformation for the Commonwealth of Virginia was already growing.
