City Council candidate Carolyn Cerf greeted people at the Highland Park Theatre and library on Saturday. She also went door to door.

Editor's note: Carolyn Cerf lost the election to serve on the Highland Park City Council on Tuesday. Read Patch's full election coverage here.

Your support made it possible to run a very strong campaign, and I can't thank you enough. Victory is not ours today, and I'm sorry to disappoint those who worked so hard with such high hopes.  But there's so much more work to do in the community, whether we contribute to studies of HP's human services needs, help implement plans to improve and invigorate our business districts or, of course, put on some good old fashioned fun with events like the Ravinia Block Bash.

Most of all, it's important to remember just how much we accomplished... We started a serious conversation about budgeting for future human services needs.

We stood out form the crowd and took a stand on property taxes.  

And we let people know how much talent (and gumption) we have to offer this town. I'm so proud of all that we did, and I can't wait to see what we can do for HP going forward.

Congratulations to our newly elected Councilmen! I sincerely wish the best for Dan Kaufman, Alyssa Knobel, and Kim Stone the best.  May their time on the City Council be characterized by sound judgment and staying true to residents.

I encourage each and every one of you to follow the business of the City Council and get to know your elected leaders.  Give them your trust, your input, and your attention.  That way they can give us an even greater city!

Carolyn Cerf
