Alvin Tedjo wins Mississauga mayoral race

We have major breaking news out of Mississauga. The city has elected its new mayor. This is the city's eighth mayor and his name is Alvin Tedjo. He managed what some would call a come from behind victory. All the polls throughout this campaign in the early days had the incumbent or the former mayor. That would be Carolyn Parrish or Bonnie Crombie as the front runners in this campaign. But as the months went on, Alvin Tedjo continued to rise through various data sets, eventually getting a projected win by CBC News today. This marks a major change for the city of Mississauga. Alvin Tedjo ran a campaign focused largely on affordability. That was one of the big campaign issues voters raised throughout the last few weeks. Mr. Tedjo says he is going to freeze property taxes for the first two years and then bring in a system for seniors to be able to defer their taxes. That's one of the many promises he's pledging in his first days as mayor, which are to come. Again, CBC News projecting Alvin Tedjo has become the new mayor of Mississauga.
