An hour after the polls closed, City Councilor Daniel Rivera declared
victory over Lawrence Mayor William Lantigua, with a slim margin of
victory. However, official returns were not yet available, and Lantigua
has not conceded.
Lantigua, a 58-year-old former state representative, was widely
considered the front-runner. His historic election in 2009 as the
state’s first Latino mayor soon gave way to state and federal
investigations of his administration and the indictments of some of his
closest allies, including his former campaign manager, a deputy police
chief now on paid leave.
But Lantigua, who calls himself “the people’s mayor,” is also beloved
by many in Lawrence for paving roads, improving parks, and making City
Hall accessible to the Latino majority. He won the endorsement of the
firefighters union and some of his former critics in the police
department.
