A Message from John
Friends,
I am a Boston City Councilor, a former teacher, and a Boston Public School parent. I'm running for Mayor to transform our public schools, to ensure every Bostonian lives in a safe and healthy neighborhood, and to bring a new era of inclusive leadership to City Hall.
I hope that you take a few moments to learn more about my vision for Boston's future, sign up to join our campaign, and share your ideas with us.
Thank you for your consideration. I hope to earn your support.

City Councilor John Connolly's bold move
It says everything about Tom Menino's five terms in office that the boldest act one can commit in Boston politics may be to run against him.
Consider that a generation of elected officials have gone out of their way to declare that under no circumstances would they ever consider running against the city's five-term patriarch. Though the supplicants generally cite respect and affection as their driving forces, surely another consideration is the fear of being crushed like a bug.
