Ray Flynn and Mel King to Join Flaherty-Yoon Campaign as Senior Advisers

Ray Flynn and Mel King to Join Flaherty-Yoon Campaign as Senior Advisers

Posted by admin in Boston Blog on 10 13th, 2009 | one response

Mayor Menino may have been busy ribbon-cutting , but Michael Flaherty and Sam Yoon have been recruiting “senior advisers” for their joint campaign . Former mayor Ray Flynn (Mumbles’ predecessor) and social activist Mel King (a vocal BRA opponent), who once ran against each other for mayor, will announce their support of the Flaherty-Yoon ticket tomorrow morning at City Hall. Flynn and King (”Fling”?) join

a campaign that embraces “new solutions to our city’s old problems,” emphasizes education and city planning, and provides for “Boston residents of every race and gender” according to the announcement. It’s an interesting move that aligns some longstanding Boston figures with the promise of change.

    Wow. That’s incredible news. I never would have expected to see Mel King and Ray Flynn join ranks. I guess they both understand the importance of this Mayoral race and how Boston is suffering under 16 years of Menino’s imperial rule. It will interesting to see how their endorsement will cut across the city’s color lines and neighborhood constituencies. It can only be good news for the insurgent campaign of Flaherty-Yoon.
