Well, if Marty Walsh gets confirmed as the Labor Secretary and he accepts the job in Washington D.C. that means the Kim Janey – the City Councilor President will be acting Mayor of Boston. She would be the first Black Bostonian and woman to serve in this role!
Councilors Michelle Wu, Andrea Campbell and Annissa Essaibi George have all announced they are running for mayor. It is expected that more will throw their hat in the ring for the race for mayor of Boston.
