Democrat Shawn Harris Concedes Race in District 14

Shawn Harris held a watch party at the Mariott Hotel in Rome, Georgia.

Supporters and campaign staff filled the room, along with media from overseas.

After it became clear that the results were not in Mr. Harris’s favor, he addressed his supporters.

A common theme in his message was the fact that his campaign was more successful than any Democrat’s in Northwest Georgia in a generation.

Mr. Harris told the crowd: “Whoever goes to DC, I hope… we were just talking about what we were going to do. I hope they actually do something. Because if they don’t, I think Democrats, Independents and Republicans in November are going to vote for me because you know what? Enough is enough.”

Mr. Harris says he is committed to the campaign in November, which he says he expects to win.
