In 2016, Tecklenburg replaced Joe Riley, who was Charleston’s mayor for 40 years.
Tecklenburg says he will spend the next four years working with everyone - including his opponents in this race - to make Charleston a better place.
Charleston City Council members spent several months reviewing an audit of Tecklenburg’s spending.
