Beeson accepted defeat and wrote the following message on her Facebook page.
“After a long, hard-fought campaign, the dust has settled to reveal we have come up only slightly short of victory at 49% of the vote. Although we did not win, there is still much to be celebrated — we brought this race to the closest margin in history. We pushed our current representation to listen to constituents. We saw democracy at work.”
