Democrat in Michigan’s 3rd Congressional District race concedes
Attorney Hillary Scholten, the Democrat running in Michigan's 3rd Congressional District to replace retiring Rep. Justin Amash, conceded to Republican candidate Peter Meijer Wednesday.
"We may not have won tonight, but this isn't the end of our fight for a better and bright West Michigan for all," Scholten said in a statement.
Meijer tweeted that he spoke with Scholten and congratulated her on running a "strong and focused campaign."
"We may differ in approach, but we share common ground in wanting to see West Michigan thrive," he tweeted.
Amash left the Republican Party last year. He also considered running for the Libertarian Party's presidential nomination, but decided against it and ultimately chose to retire from Congress after finishing his current term.
