Arizona Sen. Martha McSally (R) has conceded her race to Sen.-elect Mark Kelly (D) more than a week after Election Day.
“With nearly all the votes counted, I called Mark Kelly this morning to congratulate him on winning this race. I also offered support in his transition to ensure Arizonans are best served during this time. I wish him all the best,” McSally said in a statement Friday.
“It has been an absolute honor to fight for and serve Arizona in the U.S. Senate, especially during these unprecedented times,” she added. “I will always be inspired by the strength, resilience, innovation, and compassion that I witnessed from Arizonans as I traveled throughout our great state. I will never forget what I learned from all of you.”
McSally, a former House member and the first woman to fly in combat, thanked her supporters and aides and did not say what her plans are once she leaves office.
“While falling short, I am deeply humbled to have received the second most votes ever cast by Arizonans for a statewide race. I am thankful for the more than 1.6 million Arizonans who voted for me and everyone who dedicated their time, resources, and prayers to our campaign. Like nearly everything in my life, it was a high-risk, high-purpose fight,” she said.
