Rawson Concedes Senate Race To Fischmann
November 12, 2008
By Heath Haussamen.
Republican Leonard Lee Rawson sent an e-mail to supporters today conceding defeat in last week’s District 37 state Senate race against Democrat Steve Fischmann.
“Our district, which is the third largest by number of registered voters, appears to have a new senator to represent us,” Rawson wrote.
With all but eight provisional ballots from Sierra County left to be considered, Fischmann leads the current Senate minority whip by 544 votes. Fischmann has 13,131 votes, or 51.1 percent, to Rawson’s 12,587 votes, or 48.9 percent.
Rawson, who has served in the Senate since 1987, thanked his supporters in the e-mail and wrote that he has “poured my heart into serving each one of you in this unpaid capacity, often bearing your burdens with you, and it has been my joy to work diligently in your behalf.”

Listen to songs from a new CD by Steve Klinger:
In the Sun newsa letter to the editor, Rawson did nothing but whine and pat himself on the back. Not one word, even his name was mentioned to congratulate Fischmann on his victory, one that even the former mayor congratulated Steve on for running a clean election.
Poor loser!
