Santa Barbara, CA-- Democratic candidate for the 19th District State seat, Hannah-Beth Jackson has conceded to her opponent Tony Strickland.

In an statement emailed late Wednesday night Jackson's campaign thanked her supporters and commended Jackson's "courageous and gallant fight."

After three weeks of watching the vote counts seesaw back and forth Jackson's campaign felt she would not be able to catch up to Strickland's 900 vote lead.

Strickland is expected to be sworn in on Monday in Sacramento. Both Strickland and his wife Audra will hold seats in the state's legislature.
