Though Ms. Handel did not concede the race until Thursday morning, Ms. McBath claimed victory in a statement released Wednesday.

The Associated Press officially called the race for Ms. McBath on Thursday morning.

“Six years ago I went from a Marietta mom to a mother on a mission,” she said, referencing her teenage son’s death.

Jordan Davis, Ms. McBath’s son, was 17 when he was shot and killed by a white man at a gas station after refusing to turn down the volume of the rap music playing in his car.

Michael Dunn was later convicted of first-degree murder in the shooting death of Davis.
