Reporter: Darcel Beavers was optimistic for most of the election night and she remains optimistic and she's not ready to give up just yet. She's taking the wait-and-see approach. She says she knows this community, this community is part of her, and that is why Mayor Daley appointed her to fill her father's seat. Now here is what she said when we asked her if she thought people would be happy in this ward with what has happened in the election.
Ms. Beavers: If a person doesn't know where the streets are, and the directions that the streets go, we'll find out what kind of new day we have.
Reporter: Do you think the people in the 7th Ward are going to be happy?
Ms. Beavers: We'll see. We'll wait and see.
Reporter: What [or when] can we expect to hear from you tomorrow?
Ms. Beavers: Tomorrow, after I lay down and get some sleep, [smiling] get my hair done, my nails done, my toes done, then I'll give you a statement.
Reporter: After the statement what's next on the agenda for you?
Ms. Beavers: I'm still the alderman until someone gets sworn in. So I still have work to do.
