Super PAC isn’t going to save Kraft’s sagging mayoral campaign

So a Super PAC backed by New Balance chairman Jim Davis and other wealthy businessmen has dumped $1.4 million into anti-Michelle Wu advertisements around the city, according to the Herald and Globe. But unless I’m really missing something here, I don’t see it doing much good on behalf of Josh Kraft’s bid to oust Wu as mayor. Wu may be an ideological prig, but she does have a pragmatic side when it comes to winning elections. … Keep in mind Davis, a long-time GOP donor, plunked down big bucks to prevent Wu from becoming mayor in 2021. Didn’t do any good.
