"The Boston City Council won't change too much next year, as each incumbent district councilor handily defeated their opponents while a Mayor Michelle Wu coalition seems to have kept former Councilor Frank Baker from returning. The four at-large incumbents running for reelection to their City Council seats will return to City Hall, according to unofficial city results, while the District 7 seat appeared to go to a Dorchester reverend."
"Culpepper declared victory over Ahmed Tuesday night, saying Wu told him that he won by 500 votes. "But, I didn't win by 500 votes," he told cheering supporters, per NBC's Matt Prichard. "You won by 500 votes." Wu appeared with City Council President Ruthzee Louijeune and Santana at an election night party at Seaport restaurant Grace by Nia. The mayor, who was elected to her second term Tuesday night, confirmed Santana won reelection, according to local reporters."
Each incumbent district councilor won reelection, producing little change on the Boston City Council for the coming year. Four at-large incumbents secured their seats and will return to City Hall. Henry Santana appears to have been reelected among the at-large candidates, finishing ahead of former Councilor Frank Baker. Rev. Miniard Culpepper prevailed in the District 7 contest against Said Ahmed, filling the vacancy left by Tania Fernandes Anderson following her guilty plea to federal charges. Culpepper declared victory and celebrated with supporters, and Mayor Michelle Wu was present at election night events confirming results.
