GOP Rep. Karen Handel concedes one of Georgia’s hardest fought congressional races to first-time candidate Democrat Lucy McBath
By Washington Post Staff November 8 at 8:29 AM
McBath is an anti-gun violence advocate who jumped into the race at the last minute, citing February’s mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., that left 17 dead. Her 17-year-old son was fatally shot in 2012 by a man who had argued with the teen and his friends about loud music coming from their car.
“After carefully reviewing all of the election results data, it is clear that I came up a bit short on Tuesday,” Handel wrote in a Facebook post.
This is a developing story. It will be updated.
