McKinney concedes to Johnson

More than 12 hours after her opponent declared victory, Cynthia McKinney placed a call to Hank Johnson to congratulate him.

Johnson spokesperson Deb McGhee Speights said the outgoing congresswoman called Wednesday afternoon.

“She indicated that she also wants to see a smooth transition and would work to make that happen,” Speights said. “And she said that anything that he needs, her office would be accommodating.”

During his victory speech Tuesday night, Johnson said that he hoped for a smooth transition and sought party unity after the bruising primary.

“His words to me was that she was very gracious,” Speights said about the phone call.
