Boston City Council At-Large Candidate Essaibi-George Gains Valuable Endorsements

Boston City Council At-Large candidate Annissa Essaibi-George’s campaign was bolstered by the endorsements of the Ward 5, Ward 10, and Ward 15 Democratic Committees. The Committees represent Democrats in the Back Bay, Bay Village, Beacon Hill, Dorchester, Jamaica Plain, Mission Hill, and the South End. This past Saturday, Essaibi-George represented Ward 7 as a delegate to the Democratic State Convention in Springfield.

“I am excited to have earned the support of these three influential Democratic Ward Committees. For the past year, I have been campaigning across all neighborhoods and speaking with voters about my progressive vision for Boston’s future. Our city must do more to ensure that all students have access to high quality schools, safe streets, and real economic opportunity,” Essaibi-George said.

In 2013, Essaibi-George finished in 5th place in a crowded field of 19 candidates – only one spot away from winning a seat on the Council. This year, she is the only challenger running for City Council At-Large.

For the past 13 years, Essaibi-George has taught and coached at East Boston High School. She also founded and runs a successful business, the Stitch House, on Dorchester Avenue.

Essaibi-George, a lifelong Bostonian, currently lives in Dorchester’s Polish Triangle neighborhood with her husband and four boys. Essaibi-George received her bachelor’s degree from Boston University and has a master’s degree in Secondary Education from UMass-Boston.
