John Featherman concedes in GOP mayoral race

This afternoon, John Featherman conceded in the GOP mayoral race against party favorite Karen Brown. He is one of the local Republicans who staged an insurgent campaign this season.

In a statement, he wrote, "We lost the mayoral primary by a mere 64 votes on 16,674 votes cast. Thanks to so many supporters — but most notably the Tea Party movement — our insurgent campaign put the Republican City Committee on notice: The voters matter more than the party leaders. We are now becoming a true opposition party and will make Pennsylvania a battleground in next year’s presidential election."
