Judith Garcia, host of CCTV’s live election-night coverage, read unofficial tallies that placed Roberto Jimenez Rivera, Kelly Garcia and Leo Robinson among the top vote-getters for Chelsea city council at large. The broadcast treated the counts as unofficial results and provided a citywide recap of council and school committee winners.

The at-large tallies announced on-air listed Roberto Jimenez Rivera with 1,146 votes, Kelly Shinee Garcia with 1,081 and Leo Robinson with 1,040. The broadcast also listed other at-large totals reported that night, including Nicolas Gregoretti with 593 votes and Jesenia Alfaro with 631 votes. Judith Garcia prefaced the numbers as unofficial returns collected for the broadcast.

Among district races the host listed unofficial winners and vote totals as read on-camera. The recap presented the city council membership as (in addition to the three at-large winners) Todd Taylor, Deron Hines, Norielis de Jesus, Tanairi Garcia, Lisa Santegate, Giovanni Recupero, Manuel Tesher and Calvin Brown. The program likewise read a slate of school committee winners and said the school committee would include Catherine Cabral (at large), Sean O’Regan, Sarah Elizabeth Neville, Jonathan Gomez Pereira, Lucia Enriquez, Anna Hernandez, Mayra Balderas, Claudia Angeles Cobas Caraballo and Jacob Small.

Several candidates and incumbents who appeared on CCTV spoke to the camera during the night. City Councilor Leo Robinson, a long‑time incumbent and guest on the broadcast, thanked supporters on-air: “I’d like to say thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to come out and continue and supporting me,” he said during his interview. Candidate Marchesa Cattoni, speaking after results were posted on the program, told the broadcast she believed she had narrowly lost: “I think I lost by 6 votes,” she said.

Other candidates who appeared during the broadcast described broad gratitude for volunteers and voters and urged continued civic engagement. Deron Hines thanked supporters for taking the time to speak with him and to vote; Todd Taylor, reporting a roughly 65% share in a contested race as announced on-air, said he did not take voters’ support for granted.

CCTV concluded by repeating that the counts it read were unofficial. The station’s on-air recap framed the listed names as the winners for the night, and viewers were reminded to await certified results from the city clerk.
