Khrystian King Talks with Radio Worcester About Unsuccessful Bid for Mayor, Appointment as Vice-Chair

City Councilor Khrystian King was unsuccessful in his bid to unseat incumbent Mayor Joseph Petty. He stopped by Radio Worcester to talk about the positives. King feels his campaign helped drive the conversation on important issues such as affordable housing. Over the next couple of years he hopes to focus on housing and helping small and mid-size businesses. King will serve as vice-chair of the Worcester City Council. King says in this particular election the people have spoken but he does not feel that Mayor Petty and others have been able to navigate around a diverse elected official population of folks who have a different lived experience. He says you cannot label that as divisive. He hopes that different voices, particularly, on the School Committee, will not be marginalized. He believes all those elected have the best interest of the city at heart. The conversation is how you get there.
