U.S. Rep. John Adler has conceded defeat to his Republican challenger, former Eagle Jon Runyan.
Adler called Runyan shortly before 10 p.m., according to Adler's spokesman, Ryan Carbain.
The battle for the 3rd District, which runs through Burlington and Ocean counties and includes Cherry Hill in Camden County, was New Jersey's most expensive and bitter House race.
Though the main combatants were Adler, 51, of Cherry Hill, and Runyan, 36, of Mount Laurel, the race became a proxy fight for the nation's political class. Donors from around the country sent in more than $5 million in contributions.
