Nick Albares ended his Senate campaign and conceded, leaving Gary Crockett and Jamie Davis headed to a Democratic runoff. The winner will face the Republican nominee in November.
The Secretary of State’s office reported that Davis received 47% of votes from registered Democrats statewide. Crockett received 90,764 votes and Albares received 90,480, prompting an automatic recount between them.
