LOS ANGELES (AP) Republican Steve Cooley is conceding the California attorney generals race to Kamala Harris, giving Democrats a sweep of all statewide offices.
Harris is up by 51,000 votes, a half-percentage point margin, with 150,000 votes still uncounted.
The San Francisco district attorney is set to become the first woman and first minority elected as Californias top law enforcement official.
While the margin is extremely narrow and ballots are still being counted, my campaign believes that we cannot make up the current gap in the vote count for Attorney General. Therefore, I am formally conceding the race and congratulate Ms. Harris on becoming Californias next Attorney General, Cooley said in a statement.
