After Boston City Councilor Andrea Campbell came in third in Boston’s preliminary mayoral election — missing out on the general by just three percentage points — she told supporters she was proud of a campaign that provided “solutions that will make our city more affordable, safer, more equitable and just.” Now, she is carefully weighing which of the remaining candidates she wants to throw her support behind. She joined Jim Braude on Greater Boston to talk about what’s at stake.
In her concession speech on the night of the election, Campbell said the real winners of the election were Black women. “The Black woman turned out in this election and that tells me that there is an appetite for change in this city,” Campbell told Braude, noting the low voter turnout.
“The work that lies ahead is really getting folks, particularly in communities of color that distrust government, and I understand why, to mobilize, to be engaged," she added.
