WASHINGTON—Democrat Charlie Brown conceded defeat to Republican state Sen. Tom McClintock on Wednesday in their hard-fought race for California's 4th Congressional District House seat.
Brown made the decision a day after counties turned in their final vote tallies to the secretary of state, showing McClintock with a lead of nearly 1,800 votes out of more than 370,000 counted.
Brown could have requested a recount, but McClintock's lead looked insurmountable and the Democrat called his opponent Wednesday to formally bow out.
"The outcome of this election is no longer in question," Brown wrote later in an e-mail to supporters.
"Together, we have transformed the 4th District, and lifted this campaign higher and farther than anyone thought possible," Brown said. "I am proud of the campaign we ran."
