Democratic U.S. Rep. Angie Craig will return to Congress for a second term, after the race for Minnesota s Second District was called in her favor Thursday.
Craig was facing Republican challenger Tyler Kistner in an unusual battle that had come under legal challenge. Kistner conceded Thursday afternoon and said he had called Craig to congratulate her.
The result of the contest in the swing district had been unclear immediately after the polls closed, and the outcome shifted as absentee ballots continued to be counted. On Thursday morning, the Secretary of State s office showed Craig with 9,386 more votes than Kistner and a lead of slightly more than 2 percentage points.
