Shakeup in Boston City Council Preliminary Election as FitzGerald Leads, Arroyo and Lara Face Surprising Defeat
TL;DR
In the preliminary election for Boston City Council District 3, John FitzGerald emerged as the top vote-getter, but the race for the second finalist is still undecided. Incumbent councillors Ricardo Arroyo and Kendra Lara were both ousted in their respective districts. Arroyo's loss came after several scandals, including an ethics fine and involvement in federal investigations. Jose Ruiz and Enrique Pepen will move on to the final election in District 5, while Ben Weber and William King will advance in District 6. Tania Fernandes Anderson and Althea Garrison will face off in District 7.
