Gay GOP Candidate Carl DeMaio Loses Race to Scott Peters<\/b><\/p>\n

\n

\"Demaio\"<\/a>Openly gay<\/a> GOP candidate Carl DeMaio has lost his bid to unseat Democrat Scott Peters in the race for the House seat in California’s 52nd district. <\/p>\n

Politico reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The Associated Press called the race Friday night, nearly 72 hours after polls closed in the San Diego-area district. Peters, who trailed DeMaio in early returns, currently leads the Republican by 4,491 votes, 51.2 percent to 48.8 percent.<\/p>\n

DeMaio’s campaign was plagued by numerous<\/a> accusations <\/a>that the candidate had sexually harassed former campaign staffers. DeMaio vehemently denied the claims.<\/p>\n

Massachusetts’ Richard Tisei, the other openly gay<\/a> GOP congressional candidate, lost his race as well<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
