Steinbach mayoral candidate John Fehr issued the following statement following the Wednesday vote.

I want to thank all the people who came out to exercise their right to vote. Fortunately, we live in a democratic society where people can have their say. And I want to thank all the candidates who put themselves out there to serve in this community. I wish the new mayor and council all the best as they move forward over the next four years. And I look forward to seeing how they will move Steinbach forward. So I wish them all the best.

Fehr had served as a city councillor for eight years.
