U.S. Rep. Steven Horsford Wins Democratic Primary

Rep. Steven Horsford says he has conceded the race for the 4th Congressional District after calling his Republican challenger Cresent Hardy to wish him the best.

 

Horsford made the announcement Tuesday night at a Democratic Party event in Las Vegas.

 

Hardy says he was honored to be elected. He says he knew it was going to be a close race but one he could win.

 

The race was closely watched especially after a group backed by Karl Rove brought hefty campaign dollars to the race in recent weeks to attack Horsford. Hardy's margin of victory was less than three percentage points late Tuesday with a 70 percent of precincts reporting.

 

Horsford was first elected in 2012.  (AP)
