Carlo Basile, the man who was officially Democrat but fell somewhere between elephant and donkey, will be the new State Representative for East Boston. He won handily with 46% of the vote.
The Hubster noted that turnout was 4,495.
In the Boston City Council elections, Chuck Turner breezed to victory in District 7 (Roxbury) with 75.73% of the vote. Carlos Henriquez was second place with only 16.26% of the vote, so they will face off again in November in what is likely to be a lather, rinse, repeat kind of election. Only 1,949 votes were counted.
The District 9 (Allston/Brighton) winner was Mark Ciommo, who won with 31.10% of the vote. Gregory Glennon came in at a close second with 27.65% of the vote. The two will face off again in November. Ciommo is Executive Director of the Veronica B. Smith Multi-Service Senior Center. Glennon is an Assistant District Attorney for Suffolk County. After the aforementioned landslides, a close race in November seems somewhat exciting.
