The Boston Sun recaps the forum with Montez Haywood and Sharon Durkan, running in a July 25 special election to replace Kenzie Bok as city councilor in District 8 (Beacon Hill, Back Bay, Bay Village, Fenway and Mission Hill). They're competing for a term that runs until just Jan. 1, when the winner of the November regular election will take the seat.

Council District 8
What a shame that Kenzie Bok set up a wasteful special election to get her friend the Councilor spot when she merely had to wait a few weeks to resign and candidates would have had plenty of time to get their campaign together. Electeds who depart early should be responsible to pay for the special elections they create.
Similar to Ed Coppinger
Similar to Ed Coppinger resigning two months into a new term to set up a special election for his handpicked Westie machine successor.
It's pretty amazing that
It's pretty amazing that Sharon Durkan, a person whose sole experience is just raising money for politicians, is going to walk into this seat.
