Republican Barbara Kirkmeyer on Wednesday evening conceded to Democrat Yadira Caraveo in the 8th Congressional District race, one of Colorado's most competitive midterm contests. Why it matters: It marks the first time the state is expected to send a Latina to Congress and suggests her candidacy galvanized Latino voters in the district. Driving the news: Caraveo led Kirkmeyer by 48.5% to 47.7% as of 6pm on Wednesday. What to know: The new 8th District extends from the suburbs of Thornton and Northglenn through Greeley in Weld County.
