Election Day guide: Meet all 8 at-large Boston City Council candidates
Four at-large Boston city councilors and four challengers are all vying for votes on Tuesday.
Let's start with the list of incumbents, which includes current City Council President Ruthzee Louijeune, Julia Mejia, Erin Murphy and Henry Santana. We spoke with each of them about what they see as their accomplishments over the last two years.
"I've led the council, even through challenging moments, these last two years, and tried to be a really rock-steady hand for the body," said Louijeune.
"In under five years, our office managed to pass over 20 pieces of legislation that we led or cosponsored," said Mejia.
