Home > Boston Policing 2021 Candidate Questionnaire

Note: the responses below were collected by September 1 for the preliminary election. We are now collecting additional responses for the general election and will update this page when they are available.

We have given all candidates in Boston’s 2021 PRELIMINARY elections an opportunity to respond to questions about policing issues. The full, unedited responses, are available below.

This questionnaire was created by the following organizations: Muslim Justice League, Asian American Resource Workshop, Families for Justice as Healing, Youth Justice and Power Union, Kavod, and Boston Cyclists Union. The organizations leading this effort are 501(c)3 non-profit organizations (or fiscally sponsored by one) and do not endorse candidates.

Election Day 2021 is Tuesday, November 2. To find your polling place, click here.
