According to unofficial results, Paul Coogan has been re-elected to a fourth term as mayor of Fall River.

 

The race was exceptionally tight, with Coogan garnering 5,891 votes to 5,616 for challenger Gabriel “Boomer” Amaral.

 

In terms of percentage, Coogan garnered just over 50.6% of the vote, with Amaral receiving 48.7%. There were 68 write-in votes.

 

Amaral previously ran unsuccessful campaigns for City Council in 2021 and 2023.

 

With only three of the six incumbent School Committee members running for re-election, voters were guaranteed at least three new faces on the board, and they’ll get three.

 

Ana Cristina Riley, Shanell Joy Stewart and Emanuel Moniz will join incumbents Kevin Aguiar, Tom Khoury and Collin Dias on the school board.
