CommonWealth Beacon reports (second item) that Team Kraft has been approaching former Marty Walsh apparatchiks about working on his campaign. Kraft once said Walsh would "always be Boston’s Mayor for Life;" Walsh in turn got all irritable when Michelle Wu and Andrea Campbell started running for his office before he'd even left for Washington, if you can imagine.

Why apparatchiks?

Some kind of editorial?
Why not former staffers or campaign workers.
I like the sound of the word

But, yeah, they're "former staffers."
Your blurb was mostly editorial

Did you really note that the incumbent was irked that he was going to be facing opponents in 2021 in a write up about how the person running against the incumbent in 2025 was hiring staff for the effort?
I'd be willing to bet you didn't write about the staffing of the Wu and Campbell campaigns in the same tone in late 2020/early 2021.
oh no, lol

If you really want to teach Adam a lesson you should donate all your money to the Krafts.
Who says I want Kraft

I just want to see a race rather than a coronation. Menino not having an opponent in 1997 created a problem, and as Wu is a Menino protege, I'd like to see someone in the race. That said, perhaps Kraft is not the best candidate, but it would be nice for the cases to be presented.
Yeah

If you don't like how Adam posts, don't read UHub

If you don't want snark and opinions, go to another site. No one's forcing you to get your news here.
No one forces me to come to this website

I take Gaffin's snark with a grain of salt. I'm fairly sure he took my comeback better than a bunch of you did. After all, his roots are in actual journalism, as seen by his long form work.

Can someone lend him a clue, or are we all saving them for poor, rich Josh Kraft?
good to see someone willing to challenge

and better to see some of Henry et al's money burned, while their little pawn squirms on the hot seat in a debate or two.
Well, throw a Boston Calling event

Time for Boston to look into municipally supported elections——every candidate gets the same pot of money——too bad we can’t take away, uh, hmm, “name recogition”, lolz——this place has very modest progressive credentials.
Anyways, make sure and vote because the average turnout in this modest sized city is no better than anywhere else ;)
I'm so glad the Krafts looked

I'm so glad the Krafts looked at the political landscape of the country right now and thought "You know what we need? Another billionaire in a position of power."
