VIDEO: Victorious Felix Arroyo Celebrates "Our Boston"

Re-elected City Councilor Felix Arroyo joined a throng of family, supporters and staff at pub in Jamaica Plain on Tuesday night.

Arroyo and the three other incumbent at-large councilors won re-election, surprising many who bet that at least one sitting councilor would be replaced by former City Councilor Michael Flaherty, who made an unsuccessful comeback attempt.

As Arroyo made his remarks to the crowd, a friend of Arroyo in the audience yelled, "It's a New Boston!" That's a reference to previous City Council elections in which people of color made historic gains.

"I’m going to correct him just a little bit. I think he'll appreciate this. This is Our Boston now," Arroyo said to the crowd. "This is a Boston that’s diverse in race, in gender, in sexual orientation, in economic class and I’m going to do everything I can to keep it that way. And I plan to do it with you. We’re going to have one hell of another two years.”

Arroyo's father, Felix D. Arroyo, was a trailblazing figure in Boston politics, becoming the first Latino to win a City Council seat. The elder Arroyo attended the festivities and spoke before his son.
