Were you surprised by Ayanna Pressley’s showing in
last week’s Boston City Council election?

I was positively surprised.

No. She just connects with everybody and everybody connects with her.

 Charlotte James

Boston
Of course not. Our people came out and voted! She was the best then, now and in the future.

 Charlene Lewis
Teacher
Dorchester
Not too surprised, not since Gov. Deval Patrick’s been in office. I think he’s set the tone. I feel she’s a great representation. It’s good to see different cultural backgrounds in office.

 Jill Lanza
Waitress
Boston
No. Understanding that people of color are 53 percent of the population in the city of Boston — and we are the majority. Why wouldn’t she be No.1? Get ready for 2013.

I’m not surprised in anyone who works hard to accomplish their goals: “Opportunity comes disguised as hard work.”
