AT-LARGE RACE
Stephen Murphy
BY DEIRDRE FULTON

Not far from Hennigan’s party, at-large incumbent Stephen Murphy, who clung to his post with a fourth-place finish just 861 votes ahead of fifth-place finisher Patricia White, gathered at Doyle’s with his supporters, including District Three councilor Maureen Feeney, former gubernatorial candidate and state senator Warren Tolman, and sixth-place at-large finisher Matt O’Malley.

" I always thought, for the last few weeks, that there was a dynamic at work. That there were these people in trouble, like Felix or Maura — there was a rallying cry for progressives to go save them, " Murphy said. " I was like an island in this whole thing. I was just trying to get my record out, while people were making these alliances. A lot of that gets lost in the din of these causes. "

It worried Murphy so much that he sent out a mass mailing, highlighting his work on the issues. " I wasn’t getting any ink, " he noted.

Tolman described Murphy as someone who " brings the council together " and who " works well with everyone. "

" Steve is an avid supporter of the issues of working men and women. And he works well with Felix Arroyo — this offers a positive vision for the future of Boston. "
