The incumbent state treasurer has conceded.
Democrat Joe Torsella is out after losing his reelection bid to Republican Stacy Garrity.
“Despite our efforts, it looks like when all the votes are finally tallied our campaign will come up a little bit short,” Torsella said in a video posted Tuesday afternoon.
“Like anyone who runs for elected office, I really wanted to win my race and I’m really disappointed that I didn’t. It’s hard to lose, and especially heartbreaking when it’s by such a small margin,” Torsella said.
Garrity is a retired Army Reserve Colonel and is the first Republican state treasurer in 20 years.
