After keeping a relatively low profile locally during his time as President Biden’s labor secretary, former Mayor Marty Walsh has been raising his profile in Boston in recent months with a series of notable public appearances. Plus, he’s dipping his toes back into the choppy waters of city politics by endorsing a former employee, John FitzGerald, who is seeking an open seat on the Boston City Council. It’s Walsh’s first formal endorsement since leaving City Hall.
Is there a deeper meaning to Walsh’s renewed local activity? And is there any political work that could convince the former mayor to leave his current position as head of the NHL players’ union? Adam Reilly talks to Boston Magazine’s David Bernstein and Dorchester Reporter’s Gin Dumcius.
