The former state representative fell to Cruz by a wide margin and made his concession speech just before 9 p.m. Central time Tuesday.
He called any Election Day “a day of celebration” of democracy. He said “I am proud to stand in front of you tonight and say we have a new senator-elect, whose name is Ted Cruz, and I want us to be proud in our response to the voters’ choice.”
