Lautenschlager Passes on Concession Call
The custom is when the numbers are in and one candidates sees the writing on the wall, they will call their opponent, concede the loss, and wish them the best. That didn't happen tonight in the Democratic attorney general primary.
In an interview following her victory speech, Kathleen Falk said incumbent Peg Lautenschlager did not call her personally to concede the contest.
"Our campaigns talked to each other and told us she was going to be speaking,” Falk said.
Falk said she wasn't reading anything into the snub from Lautenschlager, whom she has considered a friend.
“I hope we still are (friends)," she said. "No, I don’t take anything personal about that. It’s a late night.”
