After recount, District 7 race results remain the same

Despite a recount, the results of Boston's preliminary election for District 7 city councilor will remain unchanged. The two candidates moving on to the general election in November are still Said Ahmed and Miniard Culpepper. The two prevailed in a crowded race. As former Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson resigned and pleaded guilty to federal corruption charges, 11 would-be candidates threw their names into the mix. District 7 is comprised of parts of Fenway, Dorchester, Roxbury, and some of the South End.
