"Democrat Mike Cryans conceded a tight race for Executive Council in the North Country on Wednesday.Cryans and Republican Joe Kenney faced off in a special election Tuesday for the District 1 seat left vacant when Ray Burton died in November.\"A few minutes ago, I left a message for Joe Kenney and wished him the best of luck on the council,\" Cryans said in a written statement. \"I want to thank him for running a hard-fought campaign, thank all the people who volunteered and supported either of us, and the Burton family for their support.\"The race was considered too close to call after returns began coming in Tuesday night. Kenney declared victory early Wednesday, but Cryans said he wanted to wait for the last few towns to report their results.About 264,000 people live in the 108-town district that stretches from just north of Concord to the Canadian border and includes the White Mountains and the Lakes Region."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
