Councilor and mayoral candidate Andrea Campbell has announced endorsements from Governor’s Councilor Eileen Duff and former State Rep. Marty Walz in her campaign for mayor of Boston.
“Andrea is a unique, authentic leader who knows personally what’s at stake when Boston doesn’t work for everyone,” Duff said. “As a Councilor, she’s taken action to transform systems to be more equitable and has fought for communities that have been excluded from the power structures of this city, including the LGBTQ community. I am proud to endorse Andrea Campbell for mayor of Boston because I know her leadership and vision for an equitable Boston is what this moment requires.”

They had no idea of the significance the date would hold when, on Jan. 6, participants arrived at Bostonâs Museum of Fine Arts to talk peace and unity for a video segment called âVoices on King.â
This is the third year King Boston has collaborated with the MFA for the museumâs annual MLK celebration. But itâs the first time that event has gone entirely virtual, because, obviously, of the pandemic. Watch the 21st Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day community celebration at 5 p.m. Monday via www.mfa.org or on the MFAâs Facebook and YouTube pages.

Mayor Walsh’s likely departure for Washington, D.C., could pull several new candidates into a race to succeed him this summer or fall, depending on the timing of his expected resignation, which would follow his confirmation by the US Senate. Two city councillors, Michelle Wu and Andrea Campbell, who were already waging spirited and well-funded campaigns to compete against Walsh will likely be joined by at least two council colleagues and other hopefuls from within city and state government.
When he steps down, Walsh’s vacant seat will be filled immediately by City Council President Kim Janey on an interim basis. She would be the first Black person and the first woman to serve as the city’s chief executive. Janey has not yet said whether or not she will seek a full, four-year term, but preparations have already begun for her transition into the mayor’s office.
