One of Silicon Valley’s most thrilling congressional races in years has come to a close, and former San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo is heading to Congress, delivering a blow to opponent Assembly member Evan Low in the race to replace longtime U.

State Assemblymember Evan Low has conceded the race for Silicon Valley’s hottest congressional seat — sending former San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo to Washington D.C. Election night results launched Liccardo into a comfortable 20% lead over Low for Congressional District 16,

Liccardo had over three-quarters of the vote in the first Election Day results in an intense race that drew nearly $15 million in political spending for the 16th Congressional District seat that represents a sweeping district encompassing parts of San Mateo and Santa Clara counties from Pacifica in the north to Los Gatos in the south.
