appointment into election to a full term, as challenger Brian Comer on Tuesday conceded defeat a week after the polls closed in their runoff contest.
The latest mail ballot tally put Knudsen 1,007 votes ahead. Up to 1,152 ballots could still arrive to be counted by April 18, though city election officials don’t expect that many to be returned. Comer also emerged from the field of six candidates — several of them with much larger campaign funds, including Knudsen — with a "tough-on-crime" message that resonated in the wealthy North Side ward that also covers much of the Gold Coast and Old Town.
The 32-year-old former corporate attorney became the youngest council member when he was appointed last year. But when the new council is sworn in next month, Knudsen will give up that title to 21st Ward Ald.-elect Ronnie Mosley, 31.Three other aldermanic runoff outcomes still aren’t officially set — but the leaders are looking more secure by the day as outstanding mail ballot counts wind down.
