Overview
- In Boston, Mayor Michelle Wu is the lone mayoral candidate after Josh Kraft withdrew and Domingo DaRosa did not meet the 3,000-vote threshold to advance.
- Boston voters will decide all four at-large City Council seats, with incumbents Ruthzee Louijeune, Julia Mejia, Erin Murphy and Henry Santana facing challengers Frank Baker, Marvin Dee Mathelier, Will Onuoha and Alexandra Valdez.
- The open District 7 council seat, vacated after Tania Fernandes Anderson’s arrest and resignation, features a matchup between Rev. Miniard Culpepper and Said “Coach” Ahmed.
- Everett’s mayoral race pits incumbent Carlo DeMaria, who disputes an inspector general finding that he took about $180,000 in improper payments and has asked a judge to rule, against City Councilor Robert Van Campen.
- Boston officials remind voters that absentee or vote-by-mail ballots must reach the Election Department by 8 p.m. Tuesday, including via 22 drop boxes or in person at City Hall, with multilingual ballots and interpreter services available at polling places.
