    Looks like Tarik won 8 precincts outright across the city. That’s a pretty broad showing for a 1st time candidate with a very limited organization. Nice Job Tarik.

    Jack, agreed on Tarik. Tough to knock off two incumbents.

    And congrats to Jake and Susan.

    Do you have any idea of the results for the Newtonville Area Council?

    Interesting results, especially given that many here had predicted one or the other of the incumbents as the top vote-getter citywide. Almost 9500 votes to the challengers – I wonder what the result would have been had there been one challenger, instead of two?
