On the first day after the election Brosnan was interviewed by Channel 4

Maureen Miller Brosnan

I want to thank all of my supporters, our campaign team, and the volunteers who made this historic victory possible.

Throughout this campaign, we have connected with thousands of Livonia residents about the future of our community. We know that Livonia is an exceptional city with a bright future.

Our campaign has laid the groundwork for a clear agenda for Livonia's future, and I am honored to be chosen to lead the city as we enact that vision. I can't wait to serve you as Mayor.

Thank you, Livonia. Let's get to work!

Laura Toy

I want to thank all of the volunteers who worked so hard on this campaign for me. I know this is a tough loss for many of my friends and supporters, but I want to assure them that I will continue to be involved in our great city.

The voters of Livonia have spoken and we must respect that. I'm proud that we ran a positive campaign - that was a decision I made which I felt was very important and I stand by that decision.

I look forward to continuing to ensure accountability for residents in my ongoing role on the City Council. I will seek to work with the new administration, but also to ask the tough questions when appropriate for the constituents that I serve.

Jim Davis

Thank You so much today to all my supporters, friends, church members, neighbors, new friends, face book friends and to my family for everything you have done over the last six months to help me in my campaign for City Council!!! I am humbled and I am a better person for your efforts. THANK YOU!  Jim Davis , Dad, Husband, Friend!

Greg Coppola

Almost six months ago, I started the journey to become a newly minted Livonia City Council Member. Full of confidence, I plowed full bore into the campaign with  the encouragement and support of family and friends. I believed then, as I still do today, that my experience coupled with my dedication to the community would resonate with the citizens and I would have a good chance of achieving my goal. I have never questioned my decision to run and consider the experience to be life changing.

While falling short of my goal, I am humbled and honored by all of the support received throughout the community. I sincerely enjoyed meeting all the people I have encountered and the new friends I have made during the campaign. These are treasures I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

To the successful candidates, congratulations. You have all worked very hard during the campaign and earned your success. Now the real hard work begins. Livonia's future prosperity is in your hands. The citizens will be watching.

Lastly, thank you to all that supported me during the campaign, whether financially, by volunteering, providing encouragement or placing a supporting social media post. I wouldn't have had the opportunity to be at this stage without you. A very special thank you to my wife and family for enduring the long campaign and standing behind me through thick and thin.

My involvement in the community was not a means to an end and you have my promise that I will continue to be dedicated to the commitments and organizations I have been a part of well before this campaign. I am proud to be a citizen of Livonia and wouldn't live anywhere else.

I look forward to seeing you out in the community and wish you all the best over the fast approaching holiday season.

Eileen McDonnell

I would like to thank everyone for your support and confidence during the election process! Unfortunately as you may know I lost the race but didn't lose the love of the voters! I am going to take a break to regroup and see what's next. Thank you Livonia! 

Kathleen McIntyre

Thank you to everyone who supported my campaign and voted for me yesterday. I am honored and humbled by the election results and am proud of the campaign we ran.

 Congratulations to my friend Scott Bahr on his outstanding campaign. Scott is an esteemed colleague and a man of intelligence and integrity, and there was literally a razor's edge of difference in our respective vote totals. Congratulations to the two new members of Livonia City Council, Rob Donovic and Brandon McCu llough, I look forward to serving with them.

And finally congratulations to two outstanding people: Council President Laura Toy and Council Candidate Jim Davis.

Laura has served our community with great dedication and love for many, many years. She is loyal, kind and ran a great, positive campaign. It will be a privilege and joy to continue to serve on Council with her, and our community will continue to benefit from Laura's hard work, integrity and deep ties to our residents.

Jim was a first-time candidate who ran an excellent, grassroots, non-partisan campaign. As a retired Wayne County Sheriff's Deputy Chief, Jim brought decades of public safety experience and expertise, and strong knowledge of government operations. He is hardworking, smart and one of the nicest people I know (and runs an incredibly fast 5K). I look forward to supporting him in whatever he does next.

Thank you again for the honor of serving Livonia for another 4 years.

Scott Bahr

100% at peace with tonight's results, and thankful for God's faithfulness through this long campaign. Thank you, Livonia voters, for your confidence. I am honored to serve you.

(These after election comments to a large extent are taken from public postings available

 win or lose, take  the time to express gratitude.)

Jim and Annette McConnell: Hi Kate, Louise, Dennis, Josh,  Bill, Nancy, Dave, Lynn, Pat. and a cast of hundreds. What an amazing victory for Maureen and we came close on the two council candidates.

Your leadership has very positively impacted Livonia and should inspire many of us to work even harder in 2020

My thanks for your commitment!
