Sim said that voters obviously wanted to go in a different direction and it is important that is acknowledged.

“Tonight marks the end of my time as mayor. Actually, that’s not true. I think I have a couple more weeks left, so yeah, all right, let’s make some changes now,” Sim said.

“Anyways, I just want to say thank you for being elected to the office of mayor. You know, it’s been the highlight of my life.”

Colleen Hardwick came in third, with Kareem Allam coming in fourth.
