Republican Assemblywoman Young Kim, R-Fullerton, has conceded to Democrat Sharon Quirk-Silva in the race for California’s 65th Assembly District.
“As our area faces some serious challenges in the weeks and months ahead, I will keep Sharon Quirk-Silva in my prayers…,” Kim said in a statement, adding that she called the Democratic former Assemblywoman Thursday night to congratulate her.
By Thursday night, Quirk-Silva’s lead had increased to more than 6,600 votes, the Orange County Registrar of Voters said.
