The Dorchester Reporter surveys a group of Dorchester women - April Taylor, Nurys Camargo and Catherine O'Neill - looking at potential at-large city-council runs next year. There is currently only one female city councilor, Maureen Feeney, who represents Dorchester.

Other candidates for the four at-large seats include Felix Arroyo, Jr. and Doug Bennett. Two of the current at-large councilors - Sam Yoon and Michael Flaherty - are gearing up for possible attempts to dethrone Tom Menino. Kevin McCrea reports a "prominent member" of the city's black community is looking at running citywide.
