Morfeld concedes to Condon
A key county attorney's race appears to have come to a close.
By News Channel NebraskaLINCOLN, Neb. -- A key county attorney's race appears to have come to a close.
State Sen. Adam Morfeld tweeted Friday that he has officially conceded to incumbent Pat Condon in the race for Lancaster County Attorney.
By Friday, unofficial results had Condon ahead of Morfeld by 781 votes. A total of 112,784 votes had been tallied by Friday afternoon.
Morfeld, a Democrat, entered the race after being term-limited in the Nebraska Legislature. He was seeking to become the first Democrat in over 60 years to claim the position.
Condon, a Republican and longtime prosecutor, was initially appointed to the position in 2018 before winning an election later that year.
Republican leaders challenged Morfeld's eligibility for the race, only to be turned away. Several attack ads were purchased and allegations were levied. Over $800,000 in spending went into the race, between both candidates and a conservative PAC.
