Lincoln Park Ald. Timmy Knudsen (43rd) has officially parlayed his City Council 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.
Knudsen, the first openly gay person to represent the affluent 43rd Ward, had celebrated his “apparent” victory but stopped just short of declaring it on election night, when he led Comer by more than 500 votes.
