Colorado Republican Beauprez Concedes Defeat in Governor's Race

Colorado's Republican challenger for governor, former U.S. Representative Bob Beauprez, conceded defeat on Wednesday after a tight race against Democratic incumbent John Hickenlooper.

"Unfortunately at this point, even with a handful of counties still reporting, there just aren't enough options to get us across the finish line," Beauprez said in a statement. "I just spoke with Governor Hickenlooper. We had a good conversation and I congratulated him on a hard fought race."
