Democrats will control the City Council in Vice President Mike Pence’s hometown for the first time in 36 years.

Four of the Columbus, Ind. City Council’s seven seats were won by Democrats in Tuesday’s elections, two of which were by incumbents and two of which were previously held by Republican incumbents, according to The Columbus Republic.

The results from Tuesday’s elections mark the first time Democrats have held the majority in the Columbus City Council since 1983, according to the local county clerk.

Democrats came away with victories across the state, according to the Indianapolis Star, with a Democratic mayor being elected in Zionsville and Democrats picking up council seats in the towns of Carmel and Fishers.

Republican Dascal Bunch, who held the council seat for District 1 for two terms, only lost to Democrat Jerone Wood by a single vote, 260-259.

Bunch told the Indianapolis Star he is “definitely filing” for a recount in the “coming weeks,” citing a third-party candidate that likely influenced the race.

Pence’s brother, Rep. Greg Pence (R-In.), previously held the Bartholomew County seat on the council.

The VP, for his part, did not do much campaigning in his home state prior to election night. He was last in Indiana in late September for a series of press events where he promoted President Trump’s trade deal, the USMCA, and spoke to troops before their deployment to Kuwait, according to the Star.
