Josh Kraft, son of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, announced his candidacy for mayor against current progressive Mayor Michelle Wu. He aims to tackle the housing affordability crisis and improve public schools, rallying support by criticizing Wu's bike lane initiatives as unpopular and indicative of her disconnect from the community. Despite being a political outsider, Kraft believes voters may seek change, especially as similar mayors in other cities have faced electoral defeats. He faces a significant challenge against Wu, who made history as Boston’s first woman and person of color mayor.
Mr. Kraft, a political newcomer, plans to address housing affordability and public education, while criticizing Mayor Wu's handling of bike lanes as disconnected from resident needs.
Kraft's campaign highlights a perceived disconnect between Mayor Wu and Boston residents, which he attributes to her failure to respond to community feedback on various issues.
