(Community Matters) Just pulled into the driveway or else would have been at the press conference.
Congrats to Mayor-elect Leffingwell and thanks to Mayor Pro Tem Brewster McCracken for giving the city his all these last six years.
The ideas of Lee’s & Brewster’s campaigns weren’t mutually exclusive – strong local businesses, neighborhoods, protecting the environment, jobs, economic development, recruiting major employers and promoting & protecting the arts – these are all complimentary and why Austin is such a great city. Lee has been a great council member and will make a terrific mayor. Brewster has been a terrific council member and will continue to be an important community leader – I hope still involved in economic development.
Brewster exhibited his usual class and put the city first in conceding the race without a runoff. Austinites are the winners.
