POLL: Are You Surprised By The At-Large City Council Election Results?
Victory wasn't in every candidate's sights, but did things turn out as you thought?

Seven candidates were running for four seats, and the incumbent candidates--Ayanna Pressley, Felix Arroyo, John Connolly, and Stephen Murphy--all won re-election.
While incumbents getting re-elected is nothing new, not everyone believed their victory was a foregone conclusion.
