For­mer Min­is­ter of Tourism, Cul­ture and the Arts Ran­dall Mitchell has con­ced­ed de­feat in La Brea.

In a state­ment post­ed on so­cial me­dia ad­dressed to con­stituents, Mitchell wrote, “Whilst this is not the re­sult we had hoped for, I ac­cept it with hu­mil­i­ty and grace. The peo­ple have spo­ken, and I re­spect their voice.”

He re­flect­ed on his cam­paign as “about stand­ing with you, the peo­ple of La Brea, and earn­ing your trust and shar­ing a vi­sion of pos­si­bil­i­ty for our com­mu­ni­ty.”
