Not really close
In a related election, Virginia's Republican governor promised an abortion ban if voters turned the third branch of state gov red, voters said no. Virginia Senate stays blue.

Meanwhile over in Virginia:
SCOTUS justice Antonin Scalia's daughter Meg Scalia Bryce ran for school board in Albrmarle, VA, on a campaign opposing trans-issues and "CRT." She lost.
and over in Iowa:
Three current school board members are connected to "Moms for Liberty" and the right-wing organization only needed to win one seat tonight to gain full control of the school board. They lost all four seats, setting up a progressive majority instead.
