Taylor made a surprise concession speech on local television, admitting his defeat shortly after 10:30 p.m. At a ballroom in a downtown Asheville hotel, Shuler supporters cheered wildly and chanted, "Heath, Heath, Heath."
Shuler ended up winning with 54% of the vote.
Shuler got elected thanks to his moderate positions on issues such as abortion (which he opposes) and gun rights (which he supports) which pulled enough conservative Democrats and independents to his side to carry him to victory.
