#BosMayor

With a field of twelve candidates in the Boston preliminary election, and so many forums and debates and twitter feeds and websites to keep track of, isn't it nice just to laugh about it all?

Which mayoral candidate has more Adorable Kids ® in their latest ad - Marty Walsh or John Connolly?

Get your debate on.

The polls have officially closed for the Boston municipal elections!

We're ready to call the election not for David James Wyatt. He is predicted to get 0% of the vote, but he also gives 0% of the fucks. The location of his election night party is unknown, but if you find it please tell us. We'll be there with bells on.

Election Day dance break with Bill Walczak, Charlotte Golar Richie, and Mike Ross!

"More than 3,000 handshakes (but not a baby kissed). Innumerable words, 118 appearances. Little time for food or family. Finish line closing in. Every mayoral race is a marathon. This one is no different."

Some of our favorite moments from the Boston Globe's recent snapshot of life on the Boston mayoral campaign trail.

Bill Walczak just wants his stapler back.

We are excited to post our first submitted post: a hilarious parody debate between the Boston mayoral candidates. Going by the "Gentlemen's Broadcasting Club" or "GBC," the creators describe themselves on Twitter as "a local politico and a local hiphop producer."
