Among the numerous interesting local races that we hope to write more about over the coming weeks and months is the race for Boston City Council. The race for the four at-large (citywide) seats promises to be particularly interesting, with at least nine candidates already declared (the last day to file papers is May 24). [Full disclosure: one of the at-large candidates, John Connolly, works at the same law firm as I do.]
You can meet four of the at-large candidates, as well as one candidate for the 6th district seat, at a meetup held by the Boston chapter of Democracy for America this Wednesday, May 4, at 6 pm at the Harriet Tubman House (566 Columbus Ave. in Boston). More info on the meetup is here. If you go (I can’t), please share your thoughts with us, either in the comments or by email.
