Tuesday was Election Day for New York's 3rd Congressional District, which saw Democrat Tom Suozzi, who previously held the seat, face Republican Mazi Pilip.

Suozzi will beat Pilip, ABC News projects, based on analysis of the vote.

Pilip delivered a concession speech in East Meadow, New York, on Tuesday night:

“I did call my opponent. I congratulated him,” she said.

The race has been closely watched for signs of how voters are feeling early in a presidential year in a suburban area that has swung between the two major parties.
