Teresa Sarnoff announced she's conceding in the race for the Miami City District 2.
Sarnoff, the wife of outgoing Commissioner Marc Sarnoff said Thursday that she's conceding to opponent Ken Russell.
"After much deliberation, I have made the decision to finish my campaign with a very positive message. I did not engage in negative campaigning and do not condone negative campaigning," Sarnoff said in a letter.
Sarnoff said she will not officially withdraw from the race and will instead throw her support behind Russell. Had she withdrawn, it would have opened the door for third-place finisher Grace Solares to challenge the election with a lawsuit.
The runoff is scheduled for Nov. 17.
