Liberal versus super-liberal

By Gintautas Dumcius

Latoya Gayle, a Dorchester community activist looking to knock out South Boston Sen. Nick Collins in September’s Democratic primary, has brought on Maccon Bonner as her campaign manager. Bonner comes from Boston City Hall’s Office of Neighborhood Services, which has historically served as the in-house political operation of Boston mayors. Bonner served as Mayor Wu’s neighborhood liaison for Fenway, Beacon Hill and Back Bay and had also worked for Councilor Sharon Durkan. Collins, in the Senate since 2018, played a key role in killing Wu’s property tax shift proposal on Beacon Hill.
