White, as voters returned councilors Maura Hennigan, Felix D. Arroyo, and all their colleagues to office, and as White's daughter, Patricia, went down in defeat The results marked a dramatic comeback for two leading liberal voices on the City Council: Hennigan, the council's longest-serving member, and Arroyo, the first and only Latino to serve as a Boston city councilor. Before the vote, most analysts said one of them would almost certainly be left out of the top four against better-funded candidates.
