A reporter from KING 5 asked if he plans to ask for a recount. He says he decided to concede because he "wanted to bring the cabinet some closure." He says he won't ask for a recount, and plans to govern just for the next six weeks.

He credits the youth vote for Katie Wilson's win, and says he believes that he and Wilson, ultimately, have the same set of values. But he also promised that he will stay present in the city. "Seattle will be fine. I'll make sure of that. I'm not retired. I'm not going anywhere."
