“There’s some great, amazing choices this time around and it’s an incredible moment in Boston,” Wu said.

“Shoring up some of those last votes, talking to our cities residents who are still undecided,” said Essaibi-George.

“I’m hoping people come out to vote in large numbers,” Janey said.

Voters, like Lara Jackson and Luis Rivera, are looking forward to narrowing down the number of candidates.

“I’m hoping that when we get to November that we would have two good choices,” said Jackson.

“Hopefully whoever wins which I hope is mine and they will make a better difference, especially for (Jamaica Plain),” said Rivera.
