It was a great night for SBS favored candidates, as our picks won every race across the city, and the field of candidates put up by Citizens for Fiscal Responsibility (CFR) went down to resounding defeat.
Mayor Scanlon soundly defeated challenger John Burke by a margin of 60% to 40% in what some expected to be a closer race.
Former State Rep. Mike Cahill won the City Council Presidency by 76 votes over runner-up Paul Guanci who, along with Pat Grimes, won at-large seats on the Council. CFR leader Elliot Margolis managed only 24% of the vote citywide.
In the Ward 4 School Committee race Karen Fogarty trounced challenger Gail Burke (the other leader of CFR) by a margin of 65% to 35%.
And in the three contested ward Council races, incumbents Kevin Hobin and Judith Cronin, along with former School Committee member James Latter all won their races.
Congratulations to all on their victories.
The Salem News has all the final numbers here.
