8 Takeaways From Harvard’s Task Force Reports
By a plurality of 7,000 votes, Edward W. Quinn, Democrat, was re-elected mayor of Cambridge for his fifth consecutive term after a heated six weeks campaign against Godfrey. S. Cabot '82, the Republican reform candidate.
According to reports received late last night from the Republican headquarters, the total vote cast was 26,776, Quinn receiving 17,022 votes, and Cabot 9,754.
