Los Angeles County Rep. Mike Garcia concede defeat to Democrat George Whitesides in a key House race.

U.S. Rep. Mike Garcia, the last Republican congressman in heavily Democratic Los Angeles County, conceded to Democratic challenger George Whitesides in the race for the 27th District. Despite an 11-point Democratic registration edge, Garcia had previously won the seat. Whitesides, a former NASA executive and Virgin Galactic CEO, promised to focus on job creation and lowering household costs. The race could impact which party controls the U.S. House next year. The Associated Press has yet to declare a winner due to uncounted ballots.
