Jonathan Allen, a Boston University alumnus, ran a six-month campaign for the ninth district seat on the Boston City Council. However, in Tuesday’s preliminary election, Allen did not secure enough votes to proceed onto the next round of voting.
Jonathan Allen was asked to share tips and tricks for managing student governments and affairs six years ago when he served as student body president for Grambling State University. That question would lead Allen, currently a third-year law student at Boston University’s School of Law and a fellow at Harvard Law School’s Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race and Justice, to create the nonprofit The Leadership Brainery.
