Jacobsen concedes in South Ward race
Thursday, November 5th, 2009City Council candidate Tim Jacobsen conceded on Thursday that his opponent Kirsten Hytopoulos has an insurmountable lead in their race for the South Ward seat.
Unofficial election results released Thursday evening showed Hytopoulos with a four percentage-point lead over Jacobsen’s 47.7 percent.
“I don’t see how I can close that kind of gap,” Jacobsen said. “I think she has won.”
Hytopoulos also believes the gap has widened enough that she will be declared the winner when the election is certified on Nov. 24.
“I’m excited and honored and humbled,” she said. “To have an opportunity to help lead this community is quite an honor.”
