COLUMBUS, OHIO — Veteran Democratic U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich has conceded to long-time congressional colleague Marcy Kaptur in the battle for a newly drawn Ohio congressional district.
Kucinich made his concession speech just past midnight as the sometimes-nasty faceoff ended. He said Kaptur “ran a campaign lacking in integrity, filled with false truths.”
Kaptur was leading by more than 24 points with 84 percent of precincts reporting.
Joseph “Joe the Plumber” Wurzelbacher was holding a slight lead on the Republican side. The winner of the Democratic primary is favored to win in the fall.
