Democrat Nate McMurray conceded to GOP Rep. Chris Collins on Monday, nearly three weeks after Election Day. The Associated Press has yet to call the race in Collins’ favor but it appears Collins will likely return to Congress despite an indictment for insider trading.

The three-term Republican led McMurray, the Grand Island Town Supervisor, by nearly 1,400 votes according to The Buffalo News.

“With some regret I offer my concession to Mr. Collins. It was a hard decision because part of me wants to continue to fight,” McMurray said in a press conference Monday afternoon.

McMurray did not directly say whether he would challenge Collins again, but said, “When the time is right, I will run for office again.”

2. Until conviction and sentencing.

If Collins is convicted, would there be a special election?

3. That's right. Cuomo would call a special election.

I wouldn't get too comfy in that seat if I were Collins.
