John Barros will join the race for Mayor of Boston on Thursday morning after much speculation about a potential bid.
Barros, 47, stepped down as Boston’s chief of Economic Development last week amid transitions across the board at City Hall.
Mayor Martin J. Walsh’s last official day as Mayor of Boston has yet to be announced as he and his team await his confirmation as Secretary of Labor. City Council President Kim Janey has spent the last several weeks assembling a transition team as she will serve as acting mayor once Walsh leaves.
