After Tuesday’s election results, Boises Mayor Lauren McLean sent out a statement about the privilege we have in Idaho to vote in a “safe, free, and secure” election.

She said it was a tough election but that Boiseans should "move forward with the knowledge that we have each other."

The mayor sat down with our Morning Edition host George Prentice to talk about her statement and how she’s feeling after Tuesday.
