Burke met with community leaders and Alderman Debra Silverstein at Agudath Israel’s headquarters during the campaign and addressed concerns unique to the Orthodox Jewish community. As one of the closest local primary elections in modern times, the race’s outcome took nearly two weeks to be called while mail and provisional ballots were counted under the supervision of observers from both campaigns. Burke beat Clayton Harris III by only 0.3 percentage points, or approximately 1,500 votes.
