Wu Campaign Calls on Josh Kraft to Return Contributions from Trump-Affiliated Law Firm and Donations from Misleading Emails Following reporting in the New York Times that New York-based law firm Paul Weiss is providing millions of dollars in free legal services to advance Donald Trump's chaotic and dangerous policy agenda - under a deal reportedly brokered by Robert Kraft - the Wu Campaign is calling on Josh Kraft to return thousands of dollars in contributions from top Paul Weiss management. "Josh Kraft's campaign is being propped up by billionaires, Trump donors, and lawyers engaged in implementing Donald Trump's anti-Boston agenda," said the campaign. "While the City and people of Boston are facing unprecedented attacks from Donald Trump, Josh Kraft has repeatedly refused to return these contributions. We are once again calling on Josh Kraft to stand up for Boston and return these contributions immediately."
Statement on Josh Kraft's July Fundraising Report Amid reports of unethical fundraising practices, Josh Kraft - who frequently preaches fiscal responsibility - reported spending $1.8 million in July leaving him with just $148,000 cash on hand, only months after cutting himself a $2 million check. With the Kraft campaign running on fumes, just two days after his "relaunch," voters deserve to know how many millions Josh Kraft is planning to spend on his campaign to buy this election. We have several questions for Josh to answer since his campaign's current financial situation leaves him with limited options for the next steps in his campaign:
Statement on Josh Kraft’s Everett Stadium Conflicts of Interest Josh Kraft and his family continue to treat fair negotiations with the City of Boston over their for-profit soccer stadium as a joke. For more than six months, they have refused to provide basic project information to the City, while sticking to a lowball mitigation offer that is totally unacceptable to Boston residents. As a pre-approved owner-in-waiting of the New England Revolution and as a candidate for mayor, Josh owes the public answers about his glaring conflicts of interest and the reasons for the team ownership’s strong-arm tactics. Our City deserves a mayor who always puts Boston’s interests first, not one hiding behind their own conflicts.
