YANKTON, S.D.(WNAX)- An incumbent democratic state Representative says he wanted to wait for the county and state vote canvass before deciding on asking for a recount.

District 18 Representative Ryan Cwach of Yankton finished in third place behind republican challenger Julie Auch of Lesterville.

Cwach says he actively campaigned across the district.

Cwach says he may consider public service again in the future.

Cwach had served two terms in the state House.

Republican incumbent Representative Mike Stevens finished first in the four person field.
