The 2015 Municipal Election in the City of Boston has come and gone, brining great change to the makeup of the City Council.

Charles Yancey and Stephen Murphy, Boston’s longest-serving City Council members, were ousted from office. Voters elected two women, both of whom have never held office, as their replacements.

Annissa Essaibi George edged Murphy, who had held office since 1997, to capture the fourth and final councilor-at-large seat. Ayanna Pressley, Michelle Wu and Michael F. Flaherty also earned seats. Pressley garnered the most votes, earning a fourth term in office.

Former Councilor Yancey, who had held office since 1984, offered little match for Andrea Joy Campbell. Campbell nearly doubled up Yancey in the vote count, proving her win in the preliminary election was no fluke.

In another notable race, Councilor Tito Jackson defeated Charles L. Clemons Jr. Jackson has held office since 2011.

When all was said and done, just north of 50,000 Bostonians turned out to cast a ballot. It’s a mark which represents just over 14 percent of registered voters.
