Norm Solomon concedes Congressional race, Dan Roberts Will Challenge Jared Huffman for Congress in November

Second District Congressional candidate Norman Solomon is conceding defeat, paving the way for a November run-off election pitting Democrat Jared Huffman against Republican Dan Roberts. - Times Standard

According to a press release from Solomon's camp, he currently trails Roberts by 172 votes with 1,000 ballots remaining to be counted in Sonoma County, making it “numerically very unlikely” he will overtake Roberts and move on to November.

...According to the California Secretary of State's Office, with nearly all votes counted, Huffman leads the dozen candidates vying for the newly formed 2nd District seat with 38.1 percent of the vote, followed by Roberts with 15 percent of the vote and Solomon with 14.7 percent.
