n much of Boston, the race for the four at-
large City Council seats is the only real contest
on nov. 4. Many district counselors are run-
ning unopposed or with long shot competi-
tion, and only one mayoral candidate — in-
cumbent Michelle Wu — will be listed on the ballot.
City councilors have only limited power in Boston’s
strong-mayor system, but they do get a vote on the
budget and some other important matters, like city or-
dinances. and because they represent the whole city,
the four at-large counselors also have a bully pulpit of
sorts.
the seats are also often springboards to higher of-
fice: both Wu herself and Representative ayanna
Pressley, among others, began their political careers as
at-large councilors.
this year, the Globe editorial board endorses four
at-large candidates, a mix of incumbents and new-
comers: Ruthzee louijeune, Erin Murphy, Marvin
Mathelier, and Will onuoha. While there are other
good candidates among the eight running, these four

Jessica ma’s article about older protesters highlights
Brookline seniors’ weekly demonstrations to resist the
