Curran offered the concession after Blakeman beat her by more than 2,100 votes with nearly all absentee ballots counted, according to unofficial returns.

“This is not the result we hoped for, but there is so much to be proud of,” said Curran, a centrist Democrat who was elected in 2017. “Four years ago, we promised to clean up the corruption and fiscal mismanagement that plagued county government, balance budgets and turn deficits into surpluses — and we did just that ... From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for allowing me the opportunity and the privilege to serve you these last four years.”
