Tedjo addresses crowd, says he’s ready for ‘tremendous’ responsibility
Mississauga’s new mayor-elect was greeted with loud cheers as he arrived at his campaign headquarters.
Speaking to the crowd, Tedjo thanked his family, campaign team and his predecessors who he defeated tonight, Bonnie Crombie and Carolyn Parrish. Tedjo acknowledged the next four years won’t be easy, but said he is ready to make his plan for change a reality at city hall.
“When we started this six months ago, we knew it would be tough. People told us we couldn’t win and that we should sit it out. But I wanted to fight for this city, so we got to work,” Tedjo said during his victory speech.
“Our optimism, our hope, our vision of what this city could be, our positivity and our unstoppable effort to reach every single resident in the city of Mississauga to put forward practical solutions that would make a difference in their lives, and to earn their trust. All of that hard work has led us to this moment.”
