Acting Mayor Kim Janey announced her candidacy for mayor Tuesday with a campaign video that calls out Boston s “deep racial inequities,” invokes a host of civil rights and political leaders, and casts her career as one which follows in their footsteps.
Then-City Council President Janey became acting mayor last month as the city charter dictates when predecessor Marty Walsh became U.S. Secretary of Labor. Because the string of white males in city hall s top job had been unbroken, Janey s status as a Black woman catapulted her to national attention. Janey s video celebrates her historic position and makes it a focal point of her campaign.
