Last GOP congressman anchored in Democratic Los Angeles county concedes in race against former NASA exec

LOS ANGELES (AP) — U.S. Rep. Mike Garcia, the last Republican congressman anchored in heavily Democratic Los Angeles County, on Monday conceded to Democrat George Whitesides, ending his reelection bid in a district north of Los Angeles.

In a statement, Garcia, a former Navy fighter pilot, said he had congratulated Whitesides and will ensure a smooth handoff of office operations to the former NASA chief of staff.

The Associated Press has not yet declared a winner because thousands of ballots have not yet been counted.

The race will figure in the ongoing battle to determine which party controls the House next year.
