Alderman-at-Large candidate
Luis Morales and Ward 6 candidate Jim Campano both lost by wide
margins, with Ward 6 incumbent Rebekah Gewirtz winning 1,081 out of
1,476 votes cast for the seat and Morales trailing fourth place Bruce
Desmond by 1,446 votes.

In total, 7,682 ballots were cast in the
election, which included aldermen from every other ward running
unopposed and two contested seats on the School Committee.

Alderman-at-Large Dennis Sullivan took the top place, earning 4,861 votes.

"The voters think we're doing a good job, and they showed it today," Sullivan said at the Dante Club.

Morales,
who spent much of the day with supporters in Davis Square, said before
the vote count he hoped his first political campaign would show that
much of Somerville's population is without a voice on the Board.

"I'm glad to be new at this," Morales said. "I think when you've been in power so long, you kind of miss the point."

Curtatone, who ran unopposed, received 6,156 votes – with 1,251 ballots cast blank.
