MA: Woburn Election: Concannon Wins Mayoral Prelim, Will Face Galvin
WOBURN, MA — Woburn City Council President Mike Concannon on Tuesday took an important first step in his bid to become the city's mayor with a victory over seven-term incumbent Scott Galvin and upstart 19-year-old Omar Mohuddin in the municipal preliminary election for mayor.
According to unofficial results released by the Woburn City Clerk, Concannon received 2,525 votes and Galvin was second with 1,759 votes, meaning the two will square off in the general election on Nov. 7. Mohuddin, a Woburn Memorial High School graduate and sophomore at Northeastern, received 993 votes.
A total of 5,315 votes were cast, according to the city clerk.
In a statement to Patch, Concannon, who has served as a councilor at large on the Woburn City Council for a decade and the president for two years, said he was "gratified by the results" of the preliminary election.
