Found a solution, posting it here that others may have reference for
toscawidgets2 autocompletewidget
Here is the solution:
@expose()
def optionsStates(self,**kw):
print 'here>>', kw
stateList = DBSession.query(StateCountyRecDate).all()
statecounty = []
for j in stateList:
if j.stateCounty not in statecounty:
statecounty.append(j.stateCounty)
val = json.JSONEncoder().encode(statecounty)
return (val)
