Progressives Feel Empowered After Nearly Toppling Burlington s Incumbent Mayor

Mayor Miro Weinberger When Burlington Mayor Miro Weinberger is sworn in for his fourth term on April 5, he ll be surrounded by many familiar faces. The opponent he defeated by 129 votes in last week s election, Progressive Max Tracy (Ward 2), will still be on the city council and will likely remain the body s president. Councilor Ali Dieng (I-Ward 7), who finished third in the mayor s race, has another year left on his term. And of the four seats up for election on Town Meeting Day, the council added only one new member, Mark Barlow, a New North End independent who supports Weinberger and will replace Councilor Franklin Paulino, a Democrat.

But the pandemic has forced him to campaign differently. Instead of house parties, Tracy has hosted online listening sessions with business owners and residents. Every mayoral debate is virtual, and dropping off campaign literature is a much less personal affair. Many residents will avail themselves of the mail-in ballots the city will provide to every registered, active voter.
