City election results show Gigi Coletta won the special election today to fill the rest of Lydia Edwards's two-year term as city councilor for District 1 (Charlestown, East Boston, North End), defeating Tania Del Rio.

Edwards resigned the seat after winning election to the state Senate.

Coletta also handily beat a North End restaurant owner who learned he should stick to running a restaurant and trying to sue the city rather than running a haphazard last-minute write-in campaign.

Tania was a very impressive candidate and she ran a great campaign. I hope we see her again

Tania has done a lot for the city already, particularly when she was at City Hall.

I hope she stays active in the political sphere.

I can't imagine why anyone would want to be a City Councilor other than accepting it as a necessary step to the job they really want. I suspect the very first day they are appointed they are planning a path to another job or position.
