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).
On Thursday morning, Wu scored a major sports-related endorsement. Legendary former Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz threw his support behind Wu, with both a statement and video accompanying the news.
