It’s finally official, the 18th Congressional District race will be U.S. Rep. Zack Space, D-Dover, vs. state Sen. Bob Gibbs, R-Lakeville. Two minor-party candidates also are running.

The May 4 primary ended in a dead heat between Gibbs and former state agriculture director Fred Dailey, the 2008 nominee. The race went to an automatic recount after the certified results had Gibbs leading Dailey by 156 votes.

Dailey conceded Friday morning, calling Gibbs to congratulate him and offer his help on the campaign trail. This was after 15 of the district’s 16 counties completed recounts this week.
