SIOUX FALLS, SD (KELO.com) — “This is our third win. We’re excited to get to work, and I intend to be the next Mayor of Sioux Falls.” Those were the words from Mayor-Elect Christine Erickson Thursday night, shortly after a recount board confirmed her 4-vote win over Jamie Smith. Smith has refused to concede the election so far. From all appearances, Smith will file a legal challenge. He said, “We have five days to accept the results, or make some other choices, and we will reserve our right to do those things.”
Erickson says she’s not concerned about what others are doing right now. She plans to announce her Chief of Staff and transition team soon. She is scheduled to be sworn in to office Friday, July 17th.
