All eyes may be on the NYC mayoral race, but another big mayoral race is heating up just a few hours north in Boston. While Boston\u2019s mayoral race may not include as many big names as NYC\u2019s, it has one of the most diverse candidate pools in the city\u2019s history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March, Kim Janey became Boston\u2019s first woman and first Black mayor when she took over for Marty Walsh. Janey joins a crowded field of mayoral hopefuls as she aims to secure a full-term in office in November. Six mayoral candidates \u2013\u2013 four women and two men \u2013\u2013 are vying to become Boston\u2019s next mayor in this historic moment in Boston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a new piece for Pero Make It Newsy, I took a look at Boston\u2019s historic and incredibly diverse mayoral race. Four women, including acting Mayor Kim Janey, are running to become Boston\u2019s next mayor and bring about some much-needed change to Massachusetts\u2019 capital. Unlike the race in New York City, all six mayoral candidates in Boston have prior government experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All four women running for mayor in Boston \u2013\u2013 Kim Janey, Michelle Wu, Andrea Campbell and Annissa Essaibi George \u2013\u2013 served or continue to serve as members of Boston\u2019s City Council. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
