Eastern Iowa Congresswoman Abby Finkenauer reached out to Iowa State Representative Ashley Hinson on Wednesday to concede the race for Iowa's 1st Congressional District.
Finkenauer made the decision after communicating with county auditors from across the district and reviewing available data on outstanding absentee ballots as well as provisional ballots cast. Said Finkenauer, "While it's important to review all available election data and ensure every vote is counted, I respect our democratic process and the will of the voters."
