Murphy Wins Special Congressional Election

Almost a month after the March 31st election, Democrat Scott Murphy has won the race for New York’s 20th Congressional District.

Republican James Tedisco conceded Friday (4/24) afternoon. Election night totals were too close to call but a recount showed Murphy’s lead expanding.

In a statement, Tedisco congratulated the Congressman-elect and the Assemblyman said – in his role as a state politician – he’d work with Murphy.
