David Ortiz gives his Boston mayoral endorsement: The 2025 Boston mayoral race already contains sports-related subplots. Josh Kraft, son of Patriots and Revolution owner Robert Kraft, is the main opponent to emerge so far against incumbent Michelle Wu. And as a result, the mayoral campaign has found itself oriented around the ongoing debate of two soccer stadium proposals (given the ties that both candidates have to the separate projects).
