Republican Neil Parrott officially conceded in the Maryland House race for District 6, acquiescing to his third straight political loss.
“Maryland’s 6th District is a wonderful place to live, and my wife and I will continue to serve and invest in our community,” Parrott released in a statement on X on Thursday after the Maryland State Board of Elections called the race.
“The vast majority of votes have now been counted, and it has become clear that April McClain-Delaney will be elected to this Congressional seat,” he added.
“I wish Mrs. McClain-Delaney all the best as she executes her duties to serve the people of Maryland’s 6th Congressional District over the next two years.”
McClain Delaney won the House seat previously held by her husband John Delaney with 52.6 percent of the votes according to Decision Desk HQ. She will replace former Rep. David Trone (D-Md.) who vacated the seat to run a Senatorial campaign.
Parrott lost to Trone, a wealthy businessman, twice in years past which some blame on underspending.
This year, Parrott reportedly raised $910,000 according to Maryland Matters which cited filing with the Federal Election Commission last month.
McClain Delaney spent a total of $4.3 million, reports show $3 million came from her personal finances.
