At about 9 pm this evening Leland Burk gave his concession speech surrounded by family, friends (including now “lame duck” councilwoman, the Honorable Ann Margolin), and a collection of beautiful art. After he was finished, the floor opened up for those closest to Burk to thank him for the wonderful campaign that he ran.
Ian, Burk’s pseudo-nephew and one of his youngest campaigners, gave onlookers a “Kids Say The Darndest Things” moment of comic relief:
“I have a question, you said that you’re supporting Jennifer?”
Laughs ensued, lightening the mood of the party. Check back later for Burk’s full concession speech in both print and video.
