PLATTSVILLE - Governor Robin O'Keeffe has officially conceded the election after a brief call with her successor, Governor-Elect David Spane, who will be sworn in as the State's 33rd Governor on May 10, 2024. This comes after less than a week of calling the election results unfair and certified incorrectly.
"I would like to congratulate Mr. David Spane on his victory over me during the 2024 Cameron Gubernatorial Election," said Governor O'Keeffe. "As I sit here now, I continue to ponder the question of what our state will look like in the next two years, and if his leadership will communicate to the voters, a success story that they are proud to be apart of."
Governor O'Keeffe had attempted to get the certification and results of the election overturned since David Spane was announced the Governor-Elect during the election last week. She finally agreed to concede and gave a bitter congratulations to Spane who will be the first Republican Governor of the State in 50 years.
During her call with Spane, he says that her demeanor was very stand-offish, and bitter. He says that the way she was congratulating seemed like the she was gritting her teeth while congratulating him. It is expected to be a very rocky transition period with Lt. Governor Adam Warner falling out of public spotlight for his remain weeks in office after 10 years serving the State as its Lt. Governor.
