Latino voters lose a leading voice in City Councilor Arroyo’s defeat – unseated in low turnout – Boston
Tagged: Boston, Massachusetts
City Councilor Felix Arroyo shuffled into City Hall yesterday, his fiancee at his side and resignation audible in his voice. He shook hands with colleagues wishing him well and city workers expressing sorrow for his election loss Tuesday.
“Hey, we keep going,” Arroyo said to one. “Estamos continuando,” his fiancee repeated in Spanish as they rode an elevator to his fifth-floor office.
Arroyo, the city’s first and only Latino councilor, lost his seat amid Boston’s lowest voter turnout in any municipal race in at least two decades. It was a massive blow to the city’s Latino community, which had grown to count on him as their voice in city government.”*
