Overview

  • In late May, Wu publicly shared her 2024 tax return and annual financial disclosure showing over $184,000 in federal gross income.
  • Surrogates such as State Sen. Lydia Edwards have criticized Kraft for withholding information on his income, investments and assets.
  • Kraft entered the race in February as a longtime nonprofit executive and the third son of Patriots owner Robert Kraft.
  • He has pledged to recuse himself from any matters involving his family’s businesses if elected mayor.
  • Ethics experts and campaign critics question whether blind trusts and recusal can fully prevent conflicts given the Kraft family’s extensive sports, real estate and charity holdings.
