Victory for Koch

Abigail Koch: Picture Worth A Thousand Words

Mayor Thomas P. Koch celebrates his victory, becoming part of history. On November 3, 2015 Mayor Koch was re elected as the 33rd mayor of Quincy. Koch has been Mayor since 2008, when he defeated former Mayor William Phelan. This was the first four year mayoral term in the history of Quincy. If Koch completes these next four years he will be tied for the longest running Mayor in the history of Quincy.

Koch had a hard fought battle and held his victory throughout both the primary and final election. At first he was faced with the opposition of three candidates, Gutro, Mahoney, and Phelan. The race was then between Phelan and Koch for the final. Koch 52 will be serving as Mayor for the next four years. It is unsure if he will run again in 2019. For now he is celebrating with family and friends.
