We have a crowded field in both the mayoral and councilor-at-large races. It has been years since we have had the kind of choice that we have this year. This is an opportunity for students to become part of the political process in Boston like never before. I encourage all registered voters to familiarize themselves with the candidates and then vote next Tuesday.
