Congratulations Andrea Campbell!
The Massachusetts
Women’s Political Caucus would like to congratulate Andrea Campbell on her victory
in Tuesday’s preliminary Boston City Council election. Campbell toppled longtime Boston City
Councilor Charles Yancey in the fight to represent the people of District 4,
which includes parts of Mattapan, Roslindale, Jamaica Plain and Dorchester.
With 100 percent
of precincts reporting, Campbell received 1,982 votes compared to Yancey’s
1,159. According to unofficial results
from Boston’s Election Department, 3,422
votes were cast in total. The other
candidates on Tuesday’s District 4 ballot finished far behind both Campbell and
Yancey, and as a result, are now out of the race completely. The municipal election, which is set to take
place this November 3rd, will ultimately determine whether Campbell
or Yancey will represent the people of District 4 on the Boston City Council.
The Massachusetts
Women’s Political Caucus is proud to have supported Campbell in the preliminary
election this past Tuesday and will continue to support her fight to represent
District 4 in the municipal election this November 3rd. Stay tuned for additional phone banking and
volunteer opportunities to support Andrea Campbell in her path to victory this
November!
