Josh Kraft, son of the billionaire New England Patriots owner and head of the family’s philanthropic arm, has filed paperwork to run for mayor of Boston.

BOSTON — Josh Kraft, the son of Patriots owner Robert Kraft, has officially filed the paperwork to run for mayor of Boston. “Certainly, it makes the race coming up the best mayoral race we’ve had in quite some time,” said Tom Whalen, political historian at Boston University.

"At some point, when you’re the candidate, you’re going to have to speak for yourself and not just have the consultants do it for you," Mayor Wu said. The post Kraft officially files paperwork to run for mayor as Wu responds appeared first on Boston.
