NEW YORK (Reuters) - A Democrat has won a close U.S. congressional election in New York that had been seen by some as an early gauge of support for President Barack Obama.
Republican Jim Tedisco conceded defeat on Friday to his Democratic rival Scott Murphy in a district of northeast New York state that has traditionally been Republican but has voted Democratic in recent years.
"As a candidate, Scott courageously championed the economic plans we need to lift our nation and put it on a better path, and he will continue to do so in Congress," Obama said in a statement.
