"Every election is unpredictable. Everybody knows, even a seasoned politician knows about this," said Murali Srinivasan, Sunnyvale City Councilman-elect for District 3. "I’ve been an engineer throughout my life. For me, everything was a learning experience. I was learning as I am flying, as such. So, everything was new. I didn’t know if it would be tough or easy. I was doing what I felt was necessary to run a successful campaign," said Srinivasan.
