"At the preliminary elections on Sept. 9, voters will have the opportunity to influence the direction of the city's future by deciding which mayoral and City Council candidates will advance to the general election on Nov. 4. The preliminary election will narrow the field, with the top two candidates in the mayoral race moving forward and eight city council candidates (out of ten) also advancing to the next round."
"Voters have made it clear they are focused on a range of pressing issues that will determine their votes. In July, we asked Boston.com readers to share the top issues they care about in the mayoral election. We heard from over a hundred readers who said housing affordability, immigration policies, public safety, and infrastructure were the most important issues to them."
The preliminary election on Sept. 9 will narrow the field: top two mayoral candidates advance to the Nov. 4 general election, and eight of ten City Council candidates advance. Voter priorities include housing affordability, public safety, immigration policy, and infrastructure. High rents are forcing residents to leave the city or state and making apartments harder to find. Public-safety concerns focus on the Mass and Cass area, with drug activity, tents, and paraphernalia in parks reducing perceived safety. Immigration debate centers on city resource allocation and the need for clearer support plans. Candidates must present policies addressing these issues.
